Smart Resource Management and Its Relationship to Achieving Economic Efficiency for Housewives in New Urban Communities

The primary objective of this research was to examine the nature of the relationship between smart resource management, with its dimensions (planning and optimal resource investment, using smart technologies in resource management), and the economic efficiency of housewives, with its dimensions (household budget management, expenditure rationalization, income increase), among a sample of housewives in new urban communities.
The research adopted the descriptive-analytical approach to obtain results. The sample consisted of 108 newly married housewives residing in Sheikh Zayed City, administratively affiliated with Giza Governorate, as one of the new urban communities.
