The College of Administration and Economics – Department of Business Administration / University of Mosul witnessed the discussion of the master’s thesis submitted by student Omar Abdulwahid Noori Yassin Arbo, titled:

“Organizational Intelligence as an Approach to Reducing Organizational Rigidity: An Exploratory Study of the Opinions of a Sample of Employees in the Nineveh Health Directorate.”

The study aimed to measure the correlation and impact relationship between the variable of organizational intelligence, with its dimensions represented by (willingness to change, strategic vision, alignment and congruence, shared destiny, knowledge dissemination, giving, and work pressure), and organizational rigidity, which was represented by three dimensions: (insight rigidity, psychological rigidity, and work rigidity).

The study reached a number of conclusions, the most notable of which was:

Organizational intelligence is inversely related to organizational rigidity, meaning that enhancing the dimensions of organizational intelligence within institutions contributes to reducing organizational rigidity and provides greater ability to adapt to change and face challenges.

The discussion committee consisted of: Asst. Prof. Dr. Raghad Mohammed Yahya Kharoofa – College of Administration and Economics / University of Mosul – Chair. Asst. Prof. Dr. Adwaa Kamal Hussein Al-Jarrah – College of Administration and Economics / University of Mosul – Member. Asst.
