<p> The adoption of online banking in Saudi Arabia is still emerging. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that influenced Saudi females to adopt online banking with Saudi banks. This study answered the following research question: What are the factors that influence Saudi female users in Saudi Arabia to adopt online banking through Saudi Arabian banks? This study contributes to a gap in the literature regarding the limited studies of online banking from a Saudi female perspective. A qualitative method was used to conduct the study. A semi-structured interview was conducted to collect data from the participants. The sample consisted of 13 Saudi females who live in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The themes of this study developed by coding the transcripts via NVivo, then categorizing the responses into themes. These themes were identified according to the multiple responses from the participants repeatedly on each theme. The results provided seven main themes which influenced females to adopt online banking. Easiness and convenience were the preeminent influential themes according to the females followed by security, trust, user-friendly comfortable, and availability. The sub-themes were: (1) save time, (2) effortless, (3) easy to navigate, (4) easy to use, (5) clear options, and (6) clear to navigate. In addition, this study found that education, professional background, computer competency, and age had a significant impact on online banking adoption from Saudi females.</p>

<p> Native American women's leadership, information communication technologies (ICTs), work-life balance (WLB) and human capacity building (HCB) are grounded in social justice issues due to their long history of overall cultural decimation, inequitable access to technology, monetary resources, and social power (agency), and influence. Currently, there is a lack of research regarding Native American women leaders' use of ICTs for WLB and HCB. Thus, the purpose of this qualitative, phenomenological study is to explore ways in which ICTs can enrich Native American women's leadership aptitude, work-life balance, and overall capabilities. Grounded in Giele's (2008) life course research and President Obama's (U.S. White House, 2011) recently signed, "The Executive Order (13592) on Improving American Indian and Alaska Native Educational Opportunities and Strengthening Tribal Colleges and Universities". This order reasserts his <i>cradle to career</i> (Galbraith, 2012) commitment to all Native Americans and Alaskan Indians, this study seeks to answer the following research questions: How are Native American women leaders utilizing ICTs for WLB and capacity building. To answer these questions, narrative life-story framework (Giele 2008; Weber, 2010) based interviews were be conducted and coded for the following themes: Identity, adaptive style, and ICT use. The researcher's intent is to help bridge the existing literature gap and potentially inform culturally ICT use for Native American and global Indigenous women's WLB and capacity-building to empower their efforts for preserving and revitalizing their culture. </p><p> <i>Keywords</i>: Native American, global, Indigenous, women, leaders, information communication technology, education technologies, learning technologies, ICTs, work-life balance, WLB, capacity building, cultural preservation and revitalization</p>

<p> Cybersecurity is one of the fastest growing career fields, with the demand for qualified professionals growing at a rate 3.5 times faster than traditional information technology or computing-related jobs and 12 times faster than the overall job market. Women are largely underrepresented in the field, comprising a mere 11% of the global workforce. This qualitative study uses a modified grounded-theory methodology to explore factors influencing women&rsquo;s perceptions of the field of cybersecurity. Interviews were conducted to gain an understanding of how female college students perceive the existing gender gap and to identify motivators or barriers of entry to the field. This study resulted in the development of a substantive theory depicting the core concept of finding her way and how women take action by seeking to relate, seeking reassurance, and seeking return. Findings from this research will be used to inform efforts to attract, train, and retain future generations of women in the cybersecurity profession and to aid in meeting the growing workforce needs. </p><p>
