Abstract

The purpose of this study is to assess prospects for privatization in Jordan through a field survey of the attitudes of public officials in a sample of 24 public enterprises in Jordan. Among major findings of this study are: respondents expressed high level of conviction in the principle of privatization though their expectation of successful privatization in Jordan is lower than the level of conviction; and respondents selectively agreed on certain forms and fields of privatization in Jordan. That is, privatization is suitable in certain, but not all, sectors, enterprises and forms. The study recommends enterprise‐specific and gradual privatization on the basis of feasibility studies. It also recommends overall socio‐economic and administrative changes as well as democratization, stability and peace in the region.
