Pages: 144-155

PDF Full Text
Abstract

The study primarily sought to determine the extent to which the integration of management accounting tools, represented by (activity-based costing system and balanced scorecard), with modern management practices has an impact on raising the quality of sustainable academic and administrative performance at the Samawah Technical Institute. To achieve the study's objective and answer its questions, a descriptive-analytical approach was adopted. The study population consisted of all academic and administrative leaders and staff at the Samawah Technical Institute. The study sample was determined according to the Krejcie & Morgan table, corresponding to a population of 315, where the optimal sample size was 173 individuals at a significance level of 0.05%. To ensure optimal distribution for each category (academics, administrators, and technicians), a stratified proportional sampling method was used. 210 questionnaires were distributed, and 188 were returned. After processing the returned questionnaires, 15 were found to be invalid due to errors, resulting in a final sample size of 173 questionnaires. After analyzing the data and testing the hypotheses, the study reached several key conclusions, most notably that activity-based costing is a primary tool for directing resources toward academic activities of global value. It also contributes to the optimal allocation of resources by linking each activity to its added value, thus enhancing confidence in managerial efficiency. Furthermore, the balanced scorecard contributes to improving overall performance by reducing bias in evaluating expected performance in traditional management systems, thereby strengthening confidence in a comprehensive measurement system that links financial and non-financial dimensions.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the impact of strategic drift on improving organizational performance through an analytical study of the opinions of a sample of employees at the Technical Institute / Kufa , within the context of seeking to bridge the knowledge gap related to explaining the nature of the relationship between these two variables in educational institutions. The study was based on the hypothesis that strategic drift, through its dimensions represented by satisfaction with leadership, marketing myopia, logical incrementalism, and organizational commitment, is one of the factors that directly influence the level of organizational performance, which was measured through its dimensions of accounting returns, growth, stock market performance, and operational performance. The study adopted the descriptive – analytical approach, and the questionnaire was used as the main tool for data collection, in addition to observation and personal interviews to enhance the accuracy of the results. The study population consisted of (355) employees, while the study sample included (185) questionnaires valid for statistical analysis. The data were analyzed using the (SPSS) program, relying on a set of descriptive and inferential statistical methods, particularly correlation and impact tests, after ensuring that the data met the conditions of normal distribution. The results of the statistical analysis showed the existence of a statistically significant and positive correlation and impact relationship between strategic drift and organizational performance. This confirms that the conscious management of manifestations of strategic drift can contribute to the early detection and treatment of organizational imbalances, improve the efficiency of resource utilization, and enhance the institution’s ability to adapt to environmental changes. The results also indicated that integration among the dimensions of strategic drift leads to achieving better levels of organizational performance, especially in operational aspects and institutional growth. The study concluded that strategic drift is not necessarily an entirely negative phenomenon; rather, it can be employed as an effective managerial tool if properly diagnosed and managed, thereby contributing to improving organizational performance and achieving institutional sustainability. In light of the results, the study recommended enhancing strategic awareness among administrative leaders and adopting flexible mechanisms to monitor and address strategic drift in a manner consistent with the requirements of modern work environments in educational institutions.

The role of organizational mindfulness in adopting smart learning techniques: An analytical study at the Technical College and Institute - Zakho

Hakar Z. Mohammed, Chia I. Dino, Vadar S. Mustafa

Pages: 345-358

PDF Full Text
Abstract

In light of the rapid digital transformation that has reshaped the educational landscape, smart learning technologies have emerged as one of the most significant contemporary trends that higher education institutions seek to adopt in order to enhance the quality of the educational process and improve both academic and administrative performance. The adoption of these technologies is no longer viewed as merely a developmental option; rather, it has become a strategic necessity driven by the demands of the contemporary educational environment and continuous technological advancements. Accordingly, this study aims to examine the adoption of smart learning technologies as the dependent variable through four dimensions: smart technological compatibility, performance expectancy, interaction, and institutional support, which collectively reflect the readiness and capability of educational institutions to effectively utilize modern technologies in supporting teaching and learning processes. Conversely, organizational mindfulness is examined as the independent variable through its five dimensions: preoccupation with failure, reluctance to simplify interpretations, sensitivity to operations, commitment to resilience, and deference to expertise. These dimensions enhance the institution's ability to anticipate organizational and technological changes and respond to them proactively and effectively. The significance of this study stems from the uniqueness of its empirical context within the Zakho Independent Administration, which is currently pursuing an ambitious vision for institutional development and educational modernization. The Technical College and Technical Institute in Zakho represent key pillars in supporting this transformation toward a more advanced and sustainable educational environment. The study adopted a descriptive-analytical research design and targeted a purposive sample of 82 faculty members and administrative leaders from the Technical College and Technical Institute in Zakho. To ensure the robustness and accuracy of the findings, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed using Smart PLS software to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings are expected to demonstrate that organizational mindfulness serves as a fundamental organizational capability that facilitates the successful adoption of smart learning technologies. Furthermore, the study provides a scientific framework that can support educational decision-makers in developing smart learning environments capable of meeting future educational challenges and promoting sustainable development within the region.

Abstract

The research aims to analyze the impact of awareness of organizational dynamics on enhancing strategic positioning, based on the importance of employees’ understanding of the internal and external factors that shape the organizational work environment—such as culture, structure, relationships, and communication—and their reflection on the organization’s ability to define its competitive position effectively and sustainably. The study adopted the descriptive-analytical approach and employed a questionnaire to collect data from Al-Ittihad Food Industries Co. Ltd. in Babil Governorate, with a sample of 262 employees from the company’s sugar refinery plant. The research gap lies in the scarcity of studies that have examined the relationship between awareness of organizational dynamics and strategic positioning in an integrated manner within the Iraqi business environment—particularly in the food industry sector, which faces ongoing market transformations and increasing competition. This context requires a deep organizational awareness that connects culture, structure, leadership, and communication as an interactive dynamic system. The findings indicate a positive and statistically significant correlation and effect between awareness of organizational dynamics and strategic positioning. Higher levels of organizational awareness contribute to improving management’s ability to make effective strategic decisions and strengthen the company’s competitive position in the market. The results also show that flexible organizational culture and adaptive leadership play a key role in achieving higher levels of strategic performance. The research recommends adopting a comprehensive approach to managing organizational dynamics that integrates culture, structure, leadership, and internal communication within a unified strategic vision, thereby enhancing sustainable strategic positioning and contributing to the stability and growth of Iraqi industrial companies.

Abstract

The current study aimed to uncover the influence relationship between the independent variable (emotional contagion) and the dependent variable (team effectiveness). This was achieved by understanding the conceptual framework of these variables and determining their level of availability at Al-Furat Al-Awsat Hospital. This was done based on the theory of emotional contagion and the team effectiveness model to explain the relationship between these variables. The research problem was represented by the need to understand the extent to which the spread of positive and negative emotions, represented by the dimensions of emotional contagion (sadness, happiness, anger, love, fear), affects the overall performance of work teams, their effectiveness, and the achievement of their goals. Although previous research has addressed this topic, most of it focused on Western work environments or neglected to study the integrated impact of all dimensions of emotional contagion on team effectiveness, creating a research gap that this study sought to fill. The descriptive analytical approach was adopted as the basic research methodology by describing the intellectual contents of the research variables. The questionnaire was used as the main tool for data collection. A sample of medical and administrative cadres in the hospital was selected as the research sample. The total sample size was (223) individuals. Their data were collected through two methods: the first was by distributing the questionnaire electronically to (122) individuals, and the second was by distributing it manually to (101) hospital workers. Both (Excel) and (JASP v.19) programs were adopted in the statistical analysis. The results indicated the acceptance of the first main hypothesis, which states that there is a statistically significant effect of emotional contagion at the overall level on the effectiveness of work teams. The results also showed the acceptance of the second main hypothesis at the level of the dimensions of emotional contagion, as the effect of the two dimensions (sadness and anger) was negative, while the dimensions of happiness, love and fear had a positive effect on the effectiveness of work teams

عبدالله Khalaf, حافظ Arab

Pages: 120-131

PDF Full Text
Abstract

China has realized the great importance and the great role of innovation in achieving distinguished industrial performance, so it began to support and encourage it in order to achieve this, and this is what this research tries to measure and prove through a standard study based on annual data for the period (1985-2020), and depending on the statistical program (Eviews 10).
The research recommended some proposals, the most important of which are: China advancing the most important indicators of innovation by increasing spending on research and development and achieving the quality of domestic education for China and not on education abroad. Conformity and integration must be achieved between the most important indicators of innovation, especially with regard to human development (quality education) and patents.
The model variables were (industrial performance log y) is the dependent variable. And (log x1 patents), (log x2 research and development spending), (log x3 education quality) and (log x4 technology progress), are the independent variables.
The results indicated that the complete logarithmic model is the best among other models, and to achieve this goal the research relied on the assumption that innovation achieves distinguished industrial performance in both industrialized and emerging countries, including China. The support and encouragement of innovation indicators had a moral effect in achieving industrial performance in China and achieving economic and social well-being, but this depends on the country's economic situation, strategies and laws adopted and the amount of gross domestic product allocated to support those indicators.
Through the results of joint integration, the research concluded that there is a long-term equilibrium relationship and a short-term response between the research variables, and that there is a significant effect of some indicators and an insignificant effect of other indicators, in addition to the absence of the problem of self-correlation and the problem of heterogeneity of disparity.
The research recommended some proposals, the most important of which is the need for China to raise the most important indicators of innovation by increasing spending on research and development and achieving the quality of local education for China rather than relying on education abroad. It is imperative to achieve harmony and integration between the most important indicators of innovation, especially with regard to human development (quality Education and patents) and among technological advances
The research also recommended that Iraq should study this pioneering experience and make use of it as much as possible for the purpose of modernizing the Iraqi economy,
The research also recommended conducting a future study of the industrialization experience in South Korea because it is a pioneering experiment that deserves to be studied and that it moved South Korea from a developing country to an advanced industrial country that competes with the advanced industrial countries.

Abstract

The process of statistical analysis is one of the most important problems facing most researchers in choosing the appropriate statistical method for statistical analysis in scientific research. The purpose of this research is to provide a mechanism that allows the choosing of appropriate statistical methods and measures to process data of any type or Its nature and to be able to apply them skillfully in statistical analysis. Where the method of selecting statistical measures depends on specifying the goal of the research and the hypothesis of the research that the scientific researcher wants to prove, such as if he wants to indicate the type and nature of the relationship between the variables or indicate the effect of a variable on another or needs to study what the phenomenon will be in the future, as well as the researcher to determine Its data type (where it is possible to classify it by its type, its level of measurement, or by the number of samples taken or by the number of variables) used in the research, as the nature of the data is what determines the type of statistical scale used, and to test the search data to indicate whether it is possible to apply to it Parametric and nonparametric.
The researcher designed an electronic questionnaire as a tool to collect information and distributed it randomly electronically (due to the existing ban due to the Corona pandemic) to Teaching staff Iraqi universities and institutes to show the most important problems of statistical analysis, and (100) forms were chosen after excluding the forms that were filled by professors who specialize Statistics as well as those who specialize in Arabic (because most of their research is theoretical and do not need statistical analysis in their research), and where most of the answers of research community Medium knowledge by statistical measures, their advantages and conditions of use, and they applied what they found followed in previous research, which is a large percentage. Or they depend on the specialists and also we find that most of the sample members want to learn the basics of statistical analysis and how to choose the best scale in the statistical analysis of scientific research. The researcher suggested to the scientific researcher to set the research goal and hypothesis first, and then determine the type of data used in the research, and then choose the appropriate scale for the type of their data and not rely on similar previous research.
