Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the impact of corporate governance on enhancing ethical behavior within business organizations. Corporate governance can be described as an organizational framework that contributes to regulating organizational performance and ensuring compliance with ethical and professional standards. The study adopted a theoretical and analytical approach by reviewing relevant literature and recent studies published between 2018 and 2025, including studies in internationally classified journals and fields, that examined the relationship between governance principles—namely transparency, accountability, independence, and social responsibility—and the ethical behavior of employees and senior management. The findings of the analysis revealed that the implementation of corporate governance effectively contributes to fostering a culture of integrity and responsibility within organizations, reducing corruption and the abuse of power, and strengthening trust between organizations and their stakeholders. The study concludes that adopting corporate governance principles is not merely a managerial choice for business organizations, but rather a strategic necessity for achieving sustainability and maintaining a positive corporate reputation.

Abstract

The study addresses the nature of the intertwined and integrated relationship between the organizational health of business organizations in the Iraqi tourism sector and strategic immunity, according to what these variables witness from the emergence of artificial intelligence with its capabilities and driving powers in supporting the organizational environment to predict potential risks and challenges during future periods, as well as increasing the level of transparency in the business environment and improving the integration of artificial intelligence in the organizational circle, starting from planning and passing through describing the nature of internal processes, reaching the achievement of targeted institutional goals. Thus, the three variables: artificial intelligence, strategic immunity, and organizational health are no longer just individual concepts, but have become institutionalized strategic tools prepared for the future.

One of the most important determinants of the current study lies in addressing an underexplored research area. To the best of our knowledge, there is a notable scarcity of prior studies that integrate strategic immunity, organizational health, artificial intelligence, and organizational culture within a unified framework. Existing Arab and international studies tend to examine these dimensions separately, rather than as interconnected drivers of digital organizational resilience.

Abstract

Introduction to professional ethics and organizational work values:

In recent years, we have seen the emergence of some concepts of social responsibility. These concepts are considered contemporary concepts, so there must be a reinforcement of these social concepts. We find that some institutions emphasize their developmental role and sense of social responsibility within the communities in which they are located. This social participation is not only important in the sense of responsibility, but has become a necessity to win the sympathy, respect, and appreciation of communities.

We find that the concept of work ethics is one of the most important social principles that stem from the full belief in the values of work, as each individual is responsible for the work he does. Of course, the concept of work ethics is closely linked to the people who perform their work in a skillful way. This does not stop at an authority or institution, whether in the public or private sector. Therefore, institutions have focused their attention specifically on work ethics and values. They seek to develop good morals such as honesty, integrity, commitment, striving for excellence, loyalty, righteousness, respect for others, and appreciating time and good use of it. They also seek to fight against everything that is not appropriate for virtuous ethics while adhering to high values for their multiple benefits for individuals, societies, and high-quality relationships.

Let's focus more on another aspect of ethical values and how they become more complex when there are situations where values conflict with other things in our lives. We know that ethics is a set of rules that define the proper behavior and also define the improper behavior. These ethical rules tell us when our behavior is acceptable and when it is rejected. We note that ethical rules exist in all societies and organizations, despite the differences that exist between one individual and another, but they are considered ethical rules that govern the behavior of humans to determine for them when their actions are right or wrong.

As for business ethics, it does not differ much from the rules of ethics that govern the behavior of individuals in our societies, and it applies the general ethical rules that govern the behavior of business organizations.

In light of this, we note the legal aspect of ethical behavior, that is, the behavior considered ethical is also legal and preferred by society and encouraged. However, there are sometimes unethical behaviors that are difficult to consider illegal. For example, when a worker takes more time than necessary to perform a particular task, is this ethical behavior? Also, when one of the workers uses the work phone for personal calls, thus the institution bears the loss of the worker's time, and bears the costs of the calls made by the worker, or he claims to be sick and does not go to work... And such behavior is not punishable by law, but many people consider some or all of them unethical.

Work is of great importance to man, as it is his source of income and livelihood. Therefore, man seeks to preserve it by adhering to work ethics and values. Let us get to know through the following lines the concept of work ethics and the importance of adherence and commitment to work ethics. It has great importance for the individual and the institution in which he works, such as enhancing the interaction between workers in a large way, which raises the efficiency of performance, improving the image and reputation of the institution, and protecting employees from fear about their future in it and depriving them of incentives and promotions on time. In addition to increasing production and profits, this is a result of each employee's commitment to perform his duties towards his work, as one of the most important work ethics is honesty, and proper time management and not exploiting work time to serve personal interests, and disrupt the interests of work and customers as some people do, and working to succeed in forming good relationships with customers, which guarantees their continuous dealings with the institution.

We can follow a set of methods and methods in order to consolidate and consolidate the ethics and values of work, such as the individual's evaluation of his performance himself, and punishing himself for the mistake he commits without being monitored by anyone. This is because he fears God Almighty, and therefore he strives to perfect his work. Administratively, this is known as the application of self-control methods. Not discriminating between workers, everyone must be subject to punishment when they are wrong, regardless of whether they are a manager, worker, or employee. They are all equal, so that the owners of senior positions in the institution do not believe that they are above punishment, which prompts them to not comply with labor regulations. Among the methods and ways to consolidate the ethics and values of work are:

• Encouraging employees to develop their performance, and this is done by linking good performance with rewards and incentives. The employee always needs someone to encourage him to give his best for the benefit of work.
• Raising awareness among the ranks of workers of the importance of work and that it is their source of income, and the need to preserve it and master it well, which leads to increasing the profits of the institution and raising their standard of living.

Abstract

The research aims to study the marketing recovery and its impact on the quality of service in the Iraqi Airways Company in Baghdad, affiliated with the Iraqi Ministry of Transport. The problem of the study focused on explaining the pace of increasing competition between business organizations, perhaps the most prominent of which are international airlines, including the company under study (Iraqi Airways Company - Baghdad), which strives to provide the best services to its customers with the highest quality rates, but it faces many negative issues that prevent the achievement of service quality. The current research relied on three dimensions of marketing recovery, which are: (apology, compensation, and assistance and problem solving). The researcher relied on the descriptive analytical approach, and the data were collected using a questionnaire. The research also included testing the main hypotheses to determine the correlation and influence relationship between the study variables using some methods of the two statistical programs (SPSS, AMOS) and then processing the data obtained. The study included (105) senior and middle management in the company under study (General Manager, Assistant General Manager, Department Manager, Division Manager) The study found a strong correlation and influence between the study variables (marketing recovery and service quality), indicating the interest of the company’s senior and middle management in these two aspects. Among the most important recommendations that emerged from the study are: the necessity for the company under study to rely on marketing recovery in all its dimensions (apology, compensation, problem solving) whether when providing the service or after it Continuing to improve and enhance these dimensions will contribute significantly to achieving quality of service, and it is necessary to conduct periodic surveys that help the company to know the quality of the services it provides, and the extent of customer satisfaction with its performance, as it provides valuable feedback that enables the company to continuously improve its services and respond better to customer expectations and needs, which leads to achieving quality of service.

Abstract

The significant development in information and communication systems among these organizations has presented businesses, particularly their senior leadership, with a major challenge: navigating this intense competition. They have had to seek a deeper vision and more comprehensive thinking, resulting in a strategic direction that defines the organization's path and establishes a general framework for its actions when facing all forms of environmental and organizational changes. This has made organizational commitment particularly important, given its vital nature and its clear link to the success or failure of organizations. Therefore, leadership behavior is an indicator of the effectiveness of leaders' performance and achievements. The skills and capabilities that strategic leaders possess, enabling them to influence the behavior of employees and achieve desired goals, are essential for the success of strategic leadership within an organization. It is therefore crucial to understand the most important roles and qualities of strategic leaders to align with the demands of the current era, and to grasp the main dimensions of job burnout in order to keep pace with rapid developments in all fields.

Abstract

The research aims to study and analyze the risks associated with the adoption of accounting information systems, particularly human, technological, environmental, and legal risks. It also addresses the literature related to the reliability of the external auditor’s report by highlighting the nature of these risks and explaining the extent to which they affect the quality and credibility of audit reports issued by local audit firms.

The research is based on the hypothesis that identifying the risks of adopting and operating accounting information systems by regulatory bodies, and relying on auditors who possess the professional capability to disclose such risks, will positively reflect on the reliability of the final audit report for stakeholders who rely on accounting information. To achieve the objectives of the study, a conceptual framework was developed that covers the accounting information system, its internal structure, and the risks associated with its adoption. In addition, the framework analyzes the dependent variable represented by the reliability of the external auditor’s report and the characteristics that this report must include. The study also clarifies the role that risk identification can play, especially risks related to human factors involving system designers and operators, and technological risks related to the information infrastructure of business organizations.The researcher concluded that the level of disclosure regarding the risks of adopting accounting information systems in audit reports is still limited and incomplete. A significant portion of audit outputs continues to focus on traditional financial tests, without expanding into the evaluation of risks associated with modern systems. It was also found that the lack of systematic identification of these risks directly affects the reliability of the audit report and reduces the ability of users of financial statements to rely on it.

The researcher recommends that audit reports should include an annex or a dedicated section addressing risks related to accounting information systems, and that an evaluation methodology should be adopted encompassing human, technological, environmental, and legal risks, in addition to determining the impact of these risks on the fairness and credibility of financial data. The study further recommends enhancing the training of regulatory staff on mechanisms for evaluating risks associated with modern systems and integrating the results of such evaluations into the contents of the external auditor’s report, in a manner that strengthens its reliability and transparency for all stakeholders.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to clarify the importance of the barcode in monitoring processes, as it plays a significant role in the circulation of goods between the producer and the consumer.
It also aims to highlight the benefits and significance of barcodes across various stages of the production process, including identifying the components of the manufactured product and reinforcing the role of barcodes within business organizations.

Barcodes help accurately track products within warehouses, thereby facilitating daily or periodic inventory processes and minimizing human errors. Thanks to barcodes, inventory levels can be effectively monitored, allowing the organization to plan ahead to avoid stock shortages or overstocking.

Moreover, barcodes play a key role in protecting the rights of both the initial and final consumer.
