The existence of a statistically significant positive correlation between concurrent control and job performance in the researched organization, and indicates that whenever the researched organization resorted to concurrent control by following up on business progress, this led to a higher level of job performance.
Abstract: The current study seeks to provide an intellectual framework that deals with the concepts related to both the parallelism of the capital cost structure and the financial failure in banks. The study was based on a main problem: Does the parallelism of the capital cost structure between the cost of ownership and the cost of debt in commercial banks have a role in mitigating or limiting financial failures? In addition, a set of questions about the relationship and impact between the parallelism of the cost of capital structure and the financial failure of the commercial banks surveyed. The study also used several financial and statistical methods to analyze the historical data of the study sample banks, which numbered (10) commercial banks registered in the Iraq Stock Exchange for the period from (2005 to 2021) and to know the relationships between the study variables. The most important conclusion is that any change in the parallelism structure of the cost of capital, with an increase or decrease, will lead to an opposite direction change in financial failure, and vice versa. The most important of which is that bank managements, if they want to succeed in their work, must work on parallelism between the structure of the cost of ownership and the structure of the cost of debt in financing their investment activities and operations.
Abstract: The variables of the current research aim to present one of the most important cognitive shifts in administrative thought in general and the contemporary organization in particular, to form an intellectual framework expressed by (the mediating role of Organizational Attractiveness in the influential relationship of Workplace spirituality on the Organizational Embeddedness), As the most important source for organizations' survival and sustainability in the third millennium. As it was relied on the literature on the subject that dealt with the research variables in building the theoretical framework for it. A questionnaire was designed to collect data from the field side, and the size of the final research sample included (374) medical staff in private hospitals in Dohuk Governorate. While the statistical analysis of the data was carried out using the statistical programs (SPSS V.26, AMOS V.25), a number of statistical indicators were calculated and formed the basis for presenting and discussing the results of the field analysis. The research came out with intellectual and field conclusions that explained the reality of the field due to the extent to which it possesses the research variables and their dimensions, As well as proving the existence of direct and indirect correlations and influences between the three variables in the surveyed private hospitals. In conclusion, the research concluded with a set of proposals, including that the message of the private hospitals in question should be far from the orientation to achieve revenues only, but it must mix the human aspects with it in a way that achieves a balance between the aspirations of the hospital administration and each of its medical staff and customers.

Abstract: The aim of the research the impact of monetary policy shocks on foreign direct investment in Turkey for the period 1990-2020, issued data by the Centre Bank of Turkey and the World Bank, the model used SVAR, IRF, and DSV to estimate, as turkey it suffers from instability in exchange rates due its reliance on monetary policy aimed at controlling the money supply, so the hypothesis was formulated, the shocks resulting from monetary policy affect foreign direct investment, its was show through the results of the research, that a negative structural shocks in the real domestic interest rate and inflation rate led to an increase in foreign direct investment in the short term only, while a negative exchange rate shock led to a decline in foreign direct investment, while a positive structural shocks in the broad money supply led to the decline of foreign direct investment came contrary to the hypothesis. It was also found through the structural variance segmentation test that most shocks of the Monterey policy variables in explaining the variance in Turkey’s foreign direct investment is the long-term money supply.
Abstract: The current research aims to clarify the role of administrative penalties in their three forms (penalty for drawing attention, warning, reprimand) in the quality of educational services in terms of (confidence in service, guarantee and safety, ease, speed of response), to know whether the quality of services will increase in the case of directing this Kind of penalties? Assuming that quality is not affected by the form of punishment directed against the employee in the service organization. The current research used the qualitative study method by designing a special questionnaire form for this type of study in which consideration was given to studying all the lengthy details to reach the reasons for directing these selected forms of punishment, and their proportion to the form of the error that was committed, and to clarify whether these forms would constitute an incentive towards Achieving the highest quality and commitment in providing services. Six college employees were chosen as a sample to survey their opinions about the sanctions against them and to study their impact on the quality of the services they provide. Clarifying the variables of this research will determine the importance of negative incentives in achieving quality in services, which determines the form of quality improvement based on the human element, which is educational services In addition we hope to share it.
Abstract: To diagnose the factors affecting poverty in (11) selected developing countries during the period (2000-2020), a regression was made for the poverty rate (pov), as a dependent variable on (8) explanatory variables, including the time variable (t) affecting poverty for the study sample. Using three static regression models using (Panel Data), are the combined regression model (PR), the fixed effects model (FE), and the random effects model (RE). Special statistical tests were used to choose the best-estimated model, which is the (RE) model. After that, the selected model was subjected to theoretical, statistical, and econometric criteria for analyzing and evaluating the obtained results. It has been shown that each of the determinants—time, trade openness, human development index, corruption control index, and economic growth—has a positive effect on poverty reduction. That is to say, these determinants contribute to poverty reduction, while the results showed that each of the determinants—the Gini coefficient of income disparity, the political instability index, and the globalization index—has a negative effect on the spread of poverty; in other words, they contribute to a rise in the poverty rate of the study sample.The value of the modified coefficient of determination ( ) indicates that about 55% of the changes in poverty for the study sample are attributed to the eight determinants included in the estimated model. Also, the high value of (F) calculated corresponding to a very low probability level (close to zero) indicates that the eight determinants together have a significant effect on changes in poverty. In addition, the quality of reconciliation is very high for the estimated model. Keywords: developing countries, determinants of poverty, panel data, combined regression model (PR), fixed effects model (FE), random effects model (RE).

Abstract: The research aims to define the constraints facing women empowerment in Nineveh. A field survey was used for a random sample of 271 women in Nineveh Governorate, to express their opinion on the prevention factors of empowering women. The proposed restrictions on empowerment fall into two categories: the first is related to the personal aspect of women, represented by women's capabilities and self-confidence, and the second is related to social restrictions on women's empowerment.In terms of economic empowerment, women argue that their education does not qualify them for employment, which is a personal aspect. at the same time, they argue that the lack of available job opportunities, family restrictions that prevent women from working, and the preference for male employment over females, represent restrictions imposed by society. Regarding educational empowerment, women argue that the economic situation of the family restricts their educational empowerment. As for social empowerment, women argue that exposure to violence, and society's acceptance of women's leadership, restricts women's empowerment. It was found that women's answers varied significantly with the level of women's education in the three aspects of empowerment. It was found that the lower the educational level of women, the greater the belief that what was mentioned in the questions represents obstacles to women's empowerment. On the other hand, it was found that the number of children affects the answers regarding social empowerment. The more children a woman has, the more she believes that the questions represent obstacles to the social empowerment of women.
Abstract: The growing importance of big data has led organizations to advance their big data analytics capability to support their firm performance. Therefore, the researchers argue that to leverage big data analytics and realize performance gains, organizations must develop strong big data analytic capabilities. Hence, the aim of this research test the effect of a big data analytics capability on organizational performance, as well as the mediating effects of organizational agility on the relationship between a big data analytics capability and organizational performance. This study is based on the recent literature on big data capability, and organizational agility. The model was validated using data collected from a field survey of information systems managers at public organizations in Thi-Qar province. A questionnaire was developed to collect data. It contains three major variables, exemplified by (58) items. Also, a seven-dimension scalar is used for measuring, subjected to reliability and validity tests. Partial least squares (PLS) are used to test the research hypotheses and validate the model. The results of our research indicate that big data analytics capability positively influences organizational agility and organizational performance. Finally, the results show that organizational agility partially mediates the relationship between big data analytics capabilities and organizational performance. Finally, the challenges and future opportunities of this research are discussed.
Abstract: Oil price fluctuations have a significant impact on the economies of oil countries, as any increase or decrease in oil prices would cause a significant difference in the general structure of the rental economy. In this context, the research aims to measure and analyze the relationship between oil price fluctuations and some variables of Iraq's monetary and fiscal policies during the period (1990-2021) using the nonlinear auto-regressive distributed lag (NARDL) methodology. The research was based on the main hypothesis that monetary and fiscal policy variables (public revenues as a % of GDP, public expenditures as a % of GDP, exchange rate, and inflation rate) respond nonlinearly to fluctuations in oil prices. The research found that there is a long-term equilibrium relationship between oil price fluctuations and each variable. The most affected variables of oil price fluctuations are the exchange rate and the least affected are public expenditures. Oil price fluctuations positively affect public revenues in a non-linear manner, and public expenditures are positively affected by increasing oil prices, and negatively by oil price declines, but they respond linearly to fluctuations in oil prices. Oil price fluctuations also linearly and negatively affect the exchange rate, and have a non-linear effect on the rate of inflation.The linear and non-linear relationships (symmetry and asymmetry) of the effects of oil price fluctuations on the monetary and fiscal policy variables were confirmed by testing the effect of an asymmetric dynamic cumulative multiplier. Causality test results also show that high oil prices cause public expenditures in the long run.
Abstract: The research aims to measure the actual fiscal space available in the Iraqi budget through its four sources (rearranging spending priorities, mobilizing domestic resources, public debt, and foreign aid), as well as measuring the expected fiscal space from these sources in the future, and showing how to benefit from the fiscal space. It is expected to finance the economic sector address its problems related to financing and prevent them from worsening in the distant future.the integrated moving media model (ARIMA) was adopted to predict the fiscal space. its contribution to the gross domestic product.
Abstract: The main objective of the current research is to test the influence relationship of the intellectual capital variable on the variable of organizational immunity, as well as to diagnose the levels of interest in intellectual capital and organizational immunity systems in (the General Company of Electric Power Production / Middle Euphrates). The research started from a realistic problem represented by the necessity of immunizing the researched company for its immune systems as a result of the great challenges it faces in its daily work, represented by the difficulty of business that leads to the continuous provision of electric power to citizens without interruption, which requires attention to the development and perpetuation of intellectual capital in a way that enables it to enhance its immunity organization to be able to meet these challenges. This research can contribute to the development of the intellectual capital of the researched company, as well as the maintenance and strengthening of its immune systems, by taking into account the recommendations that he presented. The importance of the research was the importance of the variables of the researched company, as it represented the future variable intellectual capital and included three main dimensions: (human capital, structural capital, and relational capital). As for the dependent variable, it is similar to the immune variable, which also includes three dimensions: (organizational learning, organizational memory, and regulatory genes, or what is called ((DNA) the regulatory DNA). (Hilla Gas Power Station II) was chosen as a field for research, and the study community represented a group of employees working in the station, amounting to (349) individuals. To achieve the objectives of the research, the descriptive analytical approach was adopted by stating and describing the intellectual contents of the study variables, designing a questionnaire form for this purpose, and then analyzing it statistically using the statistical program (SMART PLS), and the research tested a main hypothesis and three hypotheses A subsidiary, through its test results, it reached a set of conclusions, the most important of which is that the intellectual capital variable at the macro level has a positive effect and contributes effectively to strengthening the immune systems in the researched company. It has a significant effect on the immune systems, meaning that it does not help the company in fortifying its immune systems, which requires the company's management to reconsider the structural procedures adopted in it.
Abstract: The tourism sector is one of the most crucial economic sectors in Iraq, serving as a key source of diversifying national income, increasing employment opportunities, and reducing unemployment. The tourist city overlooking the Mosul Dam Lake holds significant importance as a tourist destination within the Nineveh Governorate and the entire country. The Tourist City Company in Mosul Dam was established in 1990 as a mixed company with an invested capital of 240 million Iraqi dinars during the study period. This study aims to assess the company's performance efficiency from 2017 to 2020, using both traditional and modern standards to address the problem of the company's ability to achieve its goals and overcome the obstacles it faced, particularly in the aftermath of security and economic events and crises witnessed by the Nineveh Governorate during the study period. The study utilized descriptive and analytical approaches by obtaining and analyzing the company's final accounts according to specific standards for assessing the efficiency of economic project performance. The study revealed that the decline in demand for tourism services and the decrease in production were consequences of the security and economic events experienced by the district. Moreover, the increase in wages, salaries, the number of employees, and the costs of goods and services during the study years led to a decline in the company's economic performance, adversely affecting all the data examined in the study's standards. Significant idle capacities, reduced or nonexistent production, profits, and added value were observed.
