Abstract

The study aims to analyze the role of strategic clarity, represented by its dimensions (clarity of goals, clarity of activities and procedures, and clarity of organizational structure), in achieving job well-being through its dimensions (relationships, self-acceptance, autonomy, and purpose of work) among employees at Jabir Ibn Hayyan University for Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences. The importance of the study lies in addressing a contemporary topic in management thought related to enhancing the balance between organizational performance and employee well-being. The study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach by designing a questionnaire distributed to a sample of employees from the College of Pharmacy. The sample consisted of (60) employees out of a total population of (112). The data were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods to test the study hypotheses and to measure the correlation and impact relationships among the variables. The results revealed a significant correlation and effect between strategic clarity and job well-being, indicating that increased clarity of goals and procedures contributes to enhancing employees’ psychological satisfaction and job engagement. The findings also showed that clarity of goals is the most influential dimension among those examined.
