Abstract

This study aimed to demonstrate the impact of entrepreneurial strategic leadership on achieving institutional excellence through a field study at Al-Husayniya General Hospital. The study stemmed from the problem of some institutions' weak adoption of modern leadership styles that combine strategic vision, innovation, and initiative, which may negatively affect their institutional performance and ability to achieve sustainable excellence. The study employed a descriptive-analytical approach, and a questionnaire was designed as the primary data collection tool. (132) questionnaires were distributed to a sample of hospital administrators, department heads, and unit managers, and (102) questionnaires were returned, representing a response rate of (77%). Of these, (89) questionnaires were deemed valid for statistical analysis. The study concluded that there is a statistically significant correlation between entrepreneurial strategic leadership and institutional excellence. Furthermore, the results showed a significant positive impact of entrepreneurial strategic leadership, in its various dimensions, on achieving institutional excellence. The results confirmed that the adoption of a clear strategic vision by administrative leaders, the promotion of a culture of innovation, and the encouragement of initiative and calculated risk-taking effectively contribute to improving institutional performance, raising the quality of services, and enhancing the institution's competitiveness. The study recommended the necessity of strengthening entrepreneurial strategic leadership practices within healthcare institutions by developing the skills of administrative leaders, disseminating a culture of innovation, and adopting organizational policies that support institutional excellence, thereby contributing to achieving sustainability and organizational superiority.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the role of strategic leadership in promoting digital transformation processes within Iraqi Ministry of Trade public companies. The research problem stemmed from the challenges these companies face in keeping pace with the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the need for forward-looking leadership to transcend rigid, traditional structures. The strategic leadership variable encompassed the dimensions of strategic vision, ethical practices, organizational culture, human capital, and core competencies, while digital transformation was measured across the dimensions of technologies, activities, boundaries, and objectives. The study employed a descriptive-analytical methodology and was conducted within Iraqi Ministry of Trade companies. A purposive sample of 352 administrative leaders (general manager, assistant general manager, department manager, and division head) was selected. To analyze the data, the statistical software SPSS v.26 and Amos v.25 were used, employing advanced statistical methods such as Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), path analysis, and validity and reliability tests. The study reached several conclusions, most notably the significant impact of strategic leadership on the dimensions of digital transformation. Core competencies and strategic vision emerged as the strongest drivers for developing activities and expanding the organization's digital boundaries. Based on these findings, the study recommended that leaders invest in enhancing human capital and localizing modern technologies as an indispensable strategic option to ensure competitive sustainability in the evolving digital environment.

PDF Full Text
Abstract

This research aims to identify the role of strategic leadership, through its dimensions (clarity of strategic direction, rational use of authority, and ethical and value framework), in achieving outstanding performance in the private universities included in the research sample. (153) valid questionnaires were distributed to the research sample, which included senior and middle management. The data were processed and analyzed using several statistical methods, most notably (arithmetic mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, Pearson correlation coefficient, and simple linear regression) using the SPSS V28 statistical software. One of the most important conclusions reached by the research is the existence of a statistically significant correlation between strategic leadership (with its three dimensions: clarity of strategic direction, rational use of authority, and ethical and value framework) and the level of outstanding performance in private universities. This indicates that adopting these dimensions contributes to enhancing the universities' ability to improve their focus on beneficiaries, develop their internal processes, and improve their human resource management as key inputs for institutional excellence. The research recommends the necessity of adopting an integrated strategic leadership system in private universities, based on developing clear and updated documents and strategies, promoting organized delegation of powers, establishing the ethical framework, building leadership and human capacities, and supporting a culture of innovation and continuous improvement, in a way that contributes to raising the levels of institutional performance and achieving excellence in the higher education environment.

PDF Full Text
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.
