administrative control and employees' performance. This study concluded that Jordanian industrial companies must "adopt administrative control through the application of electronic information system in order to impro e the performance of employees and increase their efficiency. The study is significant as it can help companies achieve their visions, mission, and goals, while facilitating the process of identifying obstacles that faced the execution of administrative control, employees' performance, and the importance of electronic information systems as corrective measure.
