• Dr. Saleh Hamed Hemdan Alharbi Dr. Mohammed Saad Alshamrani
• Reseived: Received in Revised Form: Accepted:

This study investigates the relationships between organizational justice, e-recruitment, and organizational performance in public sector entities, with a focus on the moderating role of trust in artificial intelligence (AI). As public organizations increasingly adopt digital recruitment processes, understanding the impact of perceived fairness and AI trust on recruitment effectiveness and organizational outcomes is critical. Data was collected from a sample of 353 academic and administrative staff in Saudi public universities and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SMART-PLS. The results reveal a significant positive relationship between organizational justice and both e-recruitment effectiveness and organizational performance. Additionally, e-recruitment positively influences performance, highlighting its potential to streamline hiring and attract qualified candidates. AI trust emerged as a significant moderator, strengthening the relationship between organizational justice and e-recruitment effectiveness. These findings underscore the importance of fairness in recruitment processes, enhanced by trust in AI tools, to optimize performance in public sector organizations. The study provides valuable insights for HR practitioners and policymakers, advocating for balanced integration of justice, technology, and trust to foster sustainable organizational growth.

Their chronological ages ranged between 5-6 years, divided into two groups: an experimental group (n=8 children) and a control group (n=8 children). The study tools included a scale for environmental concepts for children with intellectual disabilities aged 5-6 years, developed by the researcher, and a training program based on multiple activities to develop environmental concepts for children with intellectual disabilities, also developed by the researcher, The study results revealed statistically significant differences between the mean rank scores of the experimental and control groups in the post-test measurement of the environmental concepts scale and its sub-dimensions (environmental knowledge, environmental behaviors, environmental awareness) in favor of the experimental group. Additionally, there were statistically significant differences between the mean rank scores of the experimental group in the pre-test and post-test measurements of the total score of the environmental concepts scale and its sub-dimensions, in favor of the post-test measurement. No statistically significant differences were found between the mean rank scores of the experimental group in the post-test and follow-up measurements of the environmental concepts scale and its sub-dimensions.

The current research is a jurisprudential study entitled: "Imam Ibn Hazm Al-Zahiri's Criticism of the Jurists' Controls: (A Rooting and Applied Study Rulings of worship)", which discusses one of the prominent jurisprudential topics related to a problem that appeared early in Islamic jurisprudence and revolves around controlling the jurisprudential opinion without valid evidence and the jurists have become aware of its danger and confronted it and among the most prominent of these jurists is Imam Ibn Hazm Al-Zahiri. The study came to clarify the concept of jurisprudential control among the jurists and its criterion according to Ibn Hazm and the most prominent reasons for the jurists' controls and its types according to Ibn Hazm and the controls of acceptable and prohibited control; mentioning models and applications of the controls that Ibn Hazm followed and discussed and studying them and clarifying the extent of the validity of Ibn Hazm's claim to control or not. It concluded with several findings and recommendations, the most prominent of which are: The criterion of control according to Ibn Hazm: is to say in the provisions of Sharia without evidence, or with corrupt and invalid evidence and that control is forbidden in the provisions of Sharia; because it is a statement based on the practical following of the abyss. Among the reasons that prevented the jurists from declaring control of the jurists were the siege of its inferential principles, the rejection of other principles and its confusion in establishing some of its principles, with its lack of tolerance for disagreement. The study also showed the most prominent types of jurists' controls according to Ibn Hazm, such as controlling the inference from the text and placing estimates of the legitimacy without evidence. The study showed that Ibn Hazm does not accept the claim of arbitration in all controversial issues that follow the sayings of the jurists. Keywords: Control, Control, Controls, Affectation.

• Dr. Rashed S. Alsahali
• Reseived: Received in Revised Form: Accepted: 30/1/2023

The research aims at identifying self-assertiveness and its predictive significance for the quality of life among Saudi women drivers in Riyadh. The sample consisted of (455) Saudi women drivers from different age groups and educational and occupational levels. The researcher used the self-assertiveness scale developed by Rathus (1975), which was adapted to the context by Al-Johani (2011). Also used the Quality of Life scale by Al-Sayed (2018). The results showed that simple regression demonstrated the ability of self-assertiveness to predict the significance of quality of life. In addition, the results showed that 25% of women drivers had low levels of assertiveness. Also, the percentage of women drivers with middle-level self-assertiveness is 48.5%, and the percentage of women drivers with high-level self-assertiveness is 2.6.4%. To sum up, the results showed that the percentage of women drivers with low quality of life is 27.7%. Also, the percentage of women drivers with a middle-level quality of life is 47.9%, and the percentage of women drivers with a high-level quality of life is 24.4%. The results showed that there was a direct, medium, and statistically significant correlation at the level of (0.01) between the scores of a sample of Saudi woman drivers from Riyadh on the self-assertiveness scale and their scores on the quality-of-life scale. Also, there were statistically significant differences in the scores for quality of life due to age (46-55 years). Moreover, the results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the scores of the quality of life due to university level and that there were statistically significant differences between the scores of the quality of life due to job in favor of women drivers and employees in the government sector. In addition, the results showed that statistically significant differences in self-assertiveness between women drivers could be attributed to age. Also, the results showed that statistically significant differences in self-assertiveness between women drivers could be attributed to the educational level of the preparatory postgraduate. Finally, the results showed that statistically significant differences in the scores of the assertiveness of women drivers could be attributed to the jobs of the preparatory employees in the government sector.
