Abstract

The research aims to clarify the type of relationship between the independent variable, organizational sense and its sub-dimensions (context, language, cognitive frameworks, organizational identity), and the dependent variable, self-directed learning and its sub-dimensions (readiness for self-learning, self-control, planning, practice), The research was conducted at the Administrative Technical College in Baghdad on a sample of (100) faculty and staff members of the college. The questionnaire was distributed as the main tool for collecting information to the research sample, and (92) questionnaires were returned and deemed valid for statistical analysis, On the practical side, a number of statistical methods were used, including (reliability and significance tests, coefficients of variation and determination, arithmetic mean, and the outputs of the SPSS V.25 program). One of the most prominent results obtained practically was the existence of a statistically significant positive effect, The main effect of the independent variable, organizational sense, and its sub-dimensions, on the respondent variable, self-directed learning, and its sub-dimensions, are as follows: The most prominent research recommendations are: Working to strengthen informal communication channels, enhance language clarity, and improve work contexts and organizational policies to cultivate organizational awareness, while also fostering self-directed learning and emotional regulation.

Abstract

The current research aims to identify the extent of the influence of emotional intelligence on the organization’s reputation for a sample of private banks in Baghdad, as well as the extent of the interest of private banks in research variables and their dimensions, to come up with a set of recommendations that contribute to improving their practice and adoption of these variables, and based on the novelty of the variables and their importance to banks. On the one hand, and society on the other hand, the research adopted the descriptive and analytical approach in completing a chapter and discussion, and it was applied in a sample of private banks in Baghdad, so that the research community (285) of the leaders represented by everyone who occupies the functional positions (bank manager, assistant manager, bank manager Department, Associate Director of Department, Division Officer), a questionnaire was distributed to them (170) to investigate opinions about the variables studied, and it was supplemented with data, observations and limited interviews, while the research used programs (SMART PLS V.3.3 - SPSS V.26 - AMOS V.25) To analyze the primary data, with the adoption of descriptive and inferential statistical methods represented in (the normal distribution test, the exploratory factor analysis, the confirmatory factor analysis, the validity and reliability test, the arithmetic mean, the standard deviation, the relative coefficient of difference, etc. Relativity ratio, Pearson correlation coefficient, simple linear regression coefficient, multiple regression coefficient) to test the research hypotheses stemming from the main questions, and the statistical analysis showed a number of results, the most prominent of which was the keenness of private banks to improve their organizational reputation, by directing emotional intelligence (self-feeling assessment, Feeling regulation, the use of feeling) to improve its level, while the evaluation of self-feeling and the regulation of feeling directed to improving creativity, innovation, and social responsibility, it added the use of feeling to the two dimensions, self-feeling assessment and feeling organization to improve the level of quality, performance, vision and leadership.

Abstract

The research aims to analyze the complex paradox between the necessity of expanding the use of clean and renewable energy sources as a primary objective of sustainable development, and the inherent risks associated with using lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) as high-reliability and high-efficiency energy storage devices, given the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources. The research problem was summarized by assessing the capacity and flexibility of international measures and policies aimed at achieving sustainable development in confronting the inherent risks and challenges arising from the use of these batteries. The most prominent findings indicated a significant and growing negative impact on the (social, environmental, and economic) advantages achieved by expanding clean and renewable energy production. Consequently, there are negative repercussions on the (economic, social, and environmental) dimensions of the sustainable development process. The most important recommendations strongly emphasized the necessity of enacting legislation to regulate the management of this type of hazardous waste. Furthermore, they stressed the need for adequate support from stakeholders, particularly producers, to ensure that the current poor regulation and management of these practices do not cast their heavy shadow onto governments in the future, compelling them to deal with the resulting crises.

Abstract

Monopolistic practices in Iraq’s dietary supplement and health food markets have created a dual burden: rising prices and declining quality. These dynamics limit consumer access to essential nutrients and compromise public health outcomes. Dietary supplements and fortified health foods are essential in preventing deficiencies and addressing gaps in nutrition, especially in fragile health systems such as Iraq’s, where decades of conflict and economic sanctions have undermined food security and health infrastructure. Yet, monopolistic control by a handful of distributors has led to inflated costs, restricted availability, and potential risks of counterfeit or substandard products.

This study evaluates the effects of monopolistic structures on consumer health by examining the availability, pricing, and quality of dietary supplements and health foods in Iraq. Employing a mixed methods approach, it combines quantitative price analysis with qualitative interviews to capture consumer experiences and expert insights. Findings are expected to reveal significant disparities in accessibility and quality when compared with international standards.

The study contributes to both academic discourse and public policy by filling a critical knowledge gap about how monopolistic practices in Iraq’s health-related markets affect consumer well-being. It offers evidence-based recommendations for policymakers, regulators, and public health stakeholders to promote market fairness, improve access, and safeguard consumer health.

Abstract

The research aims to evaluate the performance of banks using the PATROL model as a modern model that departs from traditional evaluation models. The model used is considered an early warning tool and includes five indicators: “(capital adequacy, profitability, credit risk, regulation, liquidity).” The research methodology included the use of the descriptive aspect based on books, research, dissertations, and theses, in addition to the use of the analytical aspect through the use of mathematical equations for the indicators of the model used. The research sample represented banks (Sumer Commercial, International Islamic) due to the availability of their data announced in the stock market, in addition to not displaying the research sample to any Violations during its banking work and throughout the research period extending between (2017-2022) for the purpose of making a comparison between them when using the model in evaluating their performance and determining the best in performance. The research hypothesis was proven that the PATROL model can be used in evaluating the performance of commercial and Islamic banks. The research reached a number of conclusions. The most important of which is that using the model helps bank management in identifying the strengths and weaknesses of performance, which helps decision makers develop effective solutions to obstacles and problems in a timely manner. One of the most important main recommendations of the research is directing banks to the necessity of following up on the performance evaluation process to achieve their banking soundness and ensure their sustainability and continuity in the job.
