BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The economic consequences of the introduction of digital technologies are projected both at the level of electricity market participants and at the level of the state as a whole. As a result of the introduction of intelligent electricity metering it is possible to achieve energy savings of 20 % and solve the problem of transparency of energy flows of the national economy (information asymmetry). The purpose of the work is to substantiate the organizational-economic management of the national integrated intelligent energy system of the country in the conditions of the digital economy.METHODS: Statistical analysis for technical-economic analysis of the functioning of the national energy system, technological forecasting and foresight for assessment of future changes in the architecture of energy systems, economic-mathematical modeling and scenario analysis for comparative assessment of future development of separate energy technologies.FINDINGS: Forecasting of development of macrotechnologies in the energy sector is carried out, points of bifurcation of competitiveness of various energy technologies are defined. Assessments of economic consequences of introduction of digital technologies in energy systems both at the level of energy market entities, and at the national level are carried out. In the presence of own generating capacity, the consumer becomes an active participant (producer) in the electricity market, which in turn reduces system technological losses and economic costs of suppliers in the expansion of energy grids.CONCLUSION: For generation companies, the effect lies in reduction of operating costs of up to USD 2 billion annually by smoothing the load schedule in Slovakia. Significant results can be achieved in the electricity distribution sector, in particular by reducing electricity losses by 50 % and reducing equipment maintenance and repair costs by 10 %. It was suggested to consider the technological platform as a business model for the digital development of the infrastructural sectors of the economy, in particular, the digitalization of the energy infrastructure. The authors developed the structure and presented the opportunities of the technological platform for the introduction of an intelligent energy system in Slovakia. Proposals for the implementation of the concept of an intelligent energy network as part of the digital transformation of the economy of Slovakia were developed.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This research targets at investigating and identifying the factors affecting electronic loyalty (E-loyalty) of electronic banking services (E-banking services) in Jordanian bank sector from clients' point of view. The scale of eTailQ was appointed to accomplish the research objectives. The procedures of current research were conducted under COVID-19 pandemic conditions such data collection, access the sample and different aspects. The model of current research was adopted based on three stages which are aiming at measuring the level of influence of independent determinants; that are subject norms, value perception, web design, reliability, customer support security; through mediation determinants; that are Electronic-satisfaction (E-satisfaction) and Electronic-trust (E-trust); on the E-loyalty of E-banking services usage.METHODS: The population of the current research was the Jordanian clients who use the E-banking services, the sample size was 403 client. Structural Equation Model was declared to be a methodology of research to acquire the research outcomes.FINDING: Depending on the obtained outcomes, Reliability, Customer support, Value Perception, and Subject Norms have a positive effect on E-satisfaction with the .484, -.166, .281, and .249 scores respectively. Moreover, Web design, Reliability, Customer support, and Security/privacy a positive effect on E-trust with 199, .719, -.017, and .463scores, respectively. The results also indicated that E-satisfaction and E-trust have a positive effect on E-loyalty with the .441 and .515 scores, respectively.CONCLUSION:The focal result of present study is that scale of eTailQ is an optimal measurement for determining the factors that impact the clients E-loyalty of E-banking services usage in Jordanian banks. The present study is encouraged the related specialists to conduct many investigations attached to E-banking services and the development process of E-loyalty.

Organizational citizenship behavior has always been tested in the knowledge-intensive sectors of societies. Organizational citizenship behavior is a voluntary and discretionary behavior that is supposed to build up the cultural aspect of the organization; it is not part of the personnel's contractual tasks and can contribute to the successful implementation of the organization's objectives. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the interactions among the organizational citizenship behavior components and the organizational performance for the bank systems in the Asian context; thus the province of Mazandaran in Iran was chosen. The number of studied banks were 33 and 127 structured questionnaires were distributed among the selected bank employees and based on the received data; correlation tests have been conducted. In order to analyze the gained data, two types of parametric and non-parametric tests have been applied. The results indicated correlations between 0.5 and 0.8 for these variables. It is worth noting that both parametric and non-parametric tests had almost the same results; they both showed a positive and significant correlation.

Recently, literature around the theme of collaborative management research has grown considerably. According to the definition of collaborative management research, two components are connected to each other in this context; managers of organizations and academic researchers. In literature, many authors claim that the relationship between these two components could lead to significant advantages for both of them. On the one hand, managers can learn more about new methods of handling complex systems, and on the other hand, researchers can have a chance to recognize new theories and develop their knowledge through this collaboration. Some authors argue that collaborative research not only leads to an increase in knowledge production, but also encourages knowledge sharing among the participating researchers. Therefore, knowledge production is an important issue in collaborative management research. In literature, many authors claim that the quality of knowledge production through collaborative research is higher than in non-collaborative cases. With the view of making collaborative management research more valuable, knowledge production could play an important role in three issues related to enriching collaborative management research; namely rigor, reflection and relevance. The issue of knowledge production has been a controversial and much disputed subject within the field of collaborative management research. In this paper, some studies are reviewed in order to find out the effect of collaborative management research on knowledge production. Moreover, the pattern of collaboration in knowledge production is also discussed.

Abstract Justice has always been a controversial issue and it is difficult to agree on its definition and dimensions. According to some experts, in order to establish justice a criterion should be defined for each blessing, gift or each area and transportation can be considered as one of these areas. In this study, in order to investigate the justice status in the distribution of urban transportation services, five criteria of equal opportunity, difference, need, participation in public interest and entitlement were determined as the criterion for the subsequent investigations. The use of these criteria was based on different views and perspectives, and in addition, a number of them have been used in other studies. The numerical taxonomy was used to assess the status of Tehran metropolitan areas in terms of relative level of transportation development. The main objective of this study was to find out the extent to which the urban transportation services were equally distributed at the metropolitan level in Tehran. Comparison and investigation of justice among Tehran's metropolitan areas also indicated that on the one hand, there are significant inequalities among the sectors in terms of space and, on the other hand, the distribution of the part of facilities examined in this study is not in favor of the deprived areas and benefits the advantaged regions. Finally, in the conclusion section , the implications of this situation were addressed and the strategies that can be taken into account in this regard were taken into consideration.
