Abstract

Homes bias stock is considered a confusing phenomenon in the financial literature, due to its increase over time, as well as the absence of any justification for this increase. This study aims to analyze the determinants of local bias, especially during the study period, which went through many economic, financial and health crises. The intellectual argument from the study lies in the basic question whether the country's bias towards stocks is affected during the Karuna pandemic, as well as an attempt to know the determinants that affect the country's bias during the study period. A portfolio analysis of economies was conducted for the period (2005 to 2020).

In light of the data obtained for the study sample, represented by portfolios of foreign and local stocks and the market values of those portfolios, as well as several other determinants. The study sample consisted of (64) foreign portfolios. The duration of the study included (16) years for the sample studied as a whole, and it started in the year (2005) until the year (2020). Using many financial and statistical methods, the study reached many conclusions and recommendations, the most important of which are: According to the theory of portfolio selection and the country’s bias in light of uncertainty corona pandemic, In addition, the study proved that there are several factors, not a single factor, to explain the determinants of the country’s bias, among which are institutional and economic factors that bear the responsibility of reducing foreign investment returns, which are led by the cost-benefit input such as reserves, trade flows, gross domestic product, the number of listed companies and market capitalization. The other explanation is related to behavioral factors that focus on investor behavior, such as familiarity, conservatism, and overconfidence. This proof confirms the acceptance of the main hypothesis. The study concluded in the most important recommendation: the need for investors to be interested in diversifying their investments in order to reduce the country's bias towards local stocks. And to take advantage of external opportunities to achieve the best exchange between efficient returns and risks.

Abstract

Research aims to reveal nature of mediating role of organizational learning in relationship between strategic flexibility and high performance. Intellectual research problem was represented by main question: Does strategic flexibility have an impact on achieving high performance through mediating role of organizational learning? On basis of which sub-questions were raised through which appropriate solutions could be found. While the problem of field study of urgent need to respond to the repercussions of Corona pandemic was manifested through staff that have sufficient flexibility to achieve performance required of them to cross this crisis and sustain that performance through organizational learning of various kinds. Importance of research was evident from importance of the field of application, which needed to provide various solutions to advance and develop reality of health performance, as research was applied in Karbala Health Department on a random sample of (37) employees from its administrative and medical staff, based on a questionnaire form. Used a set of statistical methods to analyze data, including simple correlation coefficient (Pearson), analysis of ANOVA and test (Sobel) by using statistical program SPSS V.25. Research reached a set of conclusions, most important of which is existence of a direct correlation and a significant positive effect between research variables, in addition to presence of an indirect and significant effect of organizational learning in relationship between strategic flexibility and high performance. Based on conclusions of research, researchers were able to formulate a number of recommendations to improve performance levels and respond to Covid 19 crisis, most important of which is increasing interest in organizational learning at level of research community, as it represents real basis for enhancing and improving flexibility and performance of its human resources (administrative and medical staff) on one hand.

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.
