Social Pressures: The Available Flexibility- and The Desired Changes Experimental Study on the Mobility in the Jordanian Community 2012-2013

Abstract

This study aims at assessing the impact of the available flexibility as being the main parameter for the required changes from the perspectives of the participants or non-participants in the Jordanian Community Mobility. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, a model of two variables was designed: (1) the independent variable – the flexibility that is available in the House of Parliament, House of Senates, the Government, the Judiciary, the available resources and the media; (2) the dependent variable- the desired changes on the level of leadership, the Structure of the country, and the policies and the strategies of the country. Two hypotheses were derived from the model namely: (1) the connections and (2) the impacts. Data were collected from a random sample of (902) people that included participants and non-participants in the Jordanian community. A highly credible and consistent questionnaire was used. The analysis and the assessment of the results proved that the relation between the available flexibility and the desired changes is statistically significant. A sharp decline of the available flexibility was also found. Dissatisfaction with the course of current changes was also revealed. Finally a significant difference in terms of strength, size, trends and course on the level of the variables and the sample was detected. The study concluded with a number of recommendations
