Abstract
In recent years, institutions have faced increasing challenges, including resource scarcity, shifting customer expectations regarding service quality, and growing commitments to economic, social, and environmental sustainability. Amid these challenges, international reports, including the 2024 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) report, highlight the limited progress towards achieving the SDGs in Iraq. The report indicates that nearly half of the goals are showing only slight or moderate progress, while more than a third are moving in the opposite direction. This reality underscores the need for continuous improvement in institutional processes, a goal to which Total Quality Management (TQM) contributes by enhancing performance efficiency, optimizing resource utilization, and developing skills. This issue is particularly relevant in Iraq, as the World Bank's SDGs report indicates a performance gap of 34.1%, making an analysis of TQM's role essential to understanding its contribution to bridging this gap. This research aims to analyze the impact of Total Quality Management (TQM) on achieving sustainable development within the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity. This is achieved by measuring the level of TQM implementation and its reflection on performance indicators. The study relied on a sample of 100 department and division managers. A total of 130 questionnaires were distributed, 110 were returned, and 100 valid questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS software. The results showed a clear understanding among the sample of the importance of TQM practices in promoting sustainable development. Furthermore, the results indicated a statistically significant impact of TQM on sustainable development. The study recommends strengthening the adoption of TQM principles within the Ministry of Electricity as a framework for improving processes and enhancing performance efficiency. This will contribute to bridging the performance gap and achieving tangible progress towards sustainable development.
Abstract
The study sought to activate the learning dimensions of the organization to become a (learning organization) capable of managing its strategic crises, so learning is the way that preserves its potential and strengthens its capabilities to be more rapid in reaction to successive changes and crises, so if organizations want to be effective in an environment dominated by uncertainty It has to rely on its ability to learn, and the availability of its dimensions will provide it with the ability to manage its strategic crises. Hence, the research problem started through a set of research implications that were:
- Is there a correlation relationship between the learning organization and strategic crisis management.?
- Is there an effect of the learning organization in strategic crisis management?
- Is there a contribution to the dimensions of the learning organization in strategic crisis management.?
The research assumed the existence of these dimensions in the researched organizations and how these dimensions affect the organization’s strategic crisis management, in order to achieve a flexible response to the turbulent changes of the crisis, and to achieve these objectives, a set of field-tested hypotheses were formulated by adopting the opinions of the members of the research sample, in order to accurately test the hypotheses and ensure their validity. Relying on a number of statistical methods appropriate for these relationships.
The research reached a set of Conclusions which confirmed its hypotheses to show the existence of a positive moral correlation as well as the existence of a moral impact of the learning organization in strategic crisis management. The educational dimensions of the organization as an explanatory variable have been identified 68% of the change in strategic crisis management as a responding variable. To present a set of recommendations aimed at activating the positive relations achieved and indicating the aspects that need to redraw their future paths in the researched organizations in particular and the corresponding organizations in general to confront the multiple crises, especially the (Covid-19) crisis.
Abstract
Achieving sustainable development requires a framework for decision-making, accountability, and management, which good governance provides. According to the World Bank's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) report, Iraq has a performance gap of 34.1% in achieving the SDGs, which constitutes the applied problem of this study. Therefore, this study seeks to answer the main question: What is the role of good governance in achieving sustainable development through the mediation of Total Quality Management (TQM)? To achieve this, the study was conducted in the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity, and a sample of 100 department and division managers was selected. To collect data from this sample, a questionnaire was designed and distributed to 130 managers, of which 110 were returned, and 100 of these were deemed valid for analysis, representing the final sample size. Furthermore, the study employed quantitative analysis of the performance indicators adopted by the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity. The study utilized a deductive approach and a descriptive-analytical method in presenting and analyzing its data. The data was analyzed using SPSS software. The study concluded that the surveyed sample recognizes the importance of good governance indicators in achieving sustainable development. The analysis revealed that good governance has a significant and statistically significant impact on sustainable development, and that the influence of good governance indicators on sustainable development is growing. The study recommended that the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity adopt good governance indicators as a framework for decision-making, accountability, and efficiency to improve its performance towards achieving sustainable development.

A set of statistical methods were used, the most important of which is the Pearson correlation coefficient by using (SPSS V.23) and structural equation modeling by using (Amos V.20). Research reached a set of conclusions, including presence of awareness among sample members about research variables, and that adoption of proactive work behaviors will achieve strategic entrepreneurship in directorate of research community.

Abstract
Based on the importance of the role played by financial intelligence and behavior in strengthening companies in the financial markets and stabilizing them by achieving an added market value for companies assuming the moral and important impact of financial intelligence and behavior and proving the statistical hypothesis, a major problem was assumed represented in the statement of the impact of financial intelligence and behavior on the financial performance of financial decision makers in the sample of Iraqi companies? Therefore, the study sought to diagnose and explore the companies that provided and achieved levels of financial intelligence represented by profits, revenues and returns, and financial behavior represented by deals and sessions, within the sectors (banks and industry) of the study sample, and using the (ARDL) methodology in a period that extended 2010-2023 with a detailed theoretical description of the latest concepts and methods of measurement for both financial intelligence and behavior, as the results of the analysis of the first model of banks proved that there is a direct, significant and escalating impact that begins with revenues through profits and ends Returns are the most important in such a sector characterized by many and severe risks and from different internal and external environments, unlike the industry sector, which is affected by other factors, so it is necessary to follow the best market model that has achieved the highest levels of intelligence and behavior of financials for the duration of the research in order to be a model for consolidating weak and declining levels of behavior and intelligence in a number of companies and sectors.
