Summary
Small Middle Eastern country located in southwest Asia. In total, there are 9,531,712 people in Jordan, most of whom live in the capital, Amman [1]; 6,6135,835 are Jordanian citizens and approximately 3 million are refugees from the Syrian conflict [1]. JIEC was established to attract foreign investment and accommodate it within these industrial estates to develop and manage the Jordanian industry, and to decrease the high rate of unemployment [6], [11]. The unemployment rate increased to 15.3% in 2016, its highest level in 10 years [5] This is the main reason for the recent regional turmoil within the Mideast countries, a crisis caused by the transfer of refugees to Jordan, which resulted in the closure of Syria and Iraq borders and paralyzed trade between these countries [7].Tables 1.1 and 1.2 shows the number of companies and workforce in Jordan Industrial Estate Company
