The College of Administration and Economics at the University of Mosul, represented by the Department of Business Administration, witnessed on Sunday, 15 February 2026, the defense of a PhD dissertation entitled: \u201cLeader\u2013Member Exchange and Its Impact on Enhancing Happiness at Work: The Mediating Role of Organizational Trust \u2013 An Analytical Study of the Views of a Sample of Employees in Several Tourism Sector Institutions in the City of Mosul\u201d
\nThe dissertation was submitted by the student Safwan Nafi Abdullah and defended in Discussion Hall No. (1).
\nThe study aimed to demonstrate the explanatory importance of happiness at work as a key variable in promoting a healthy work environment and raising levels of performance and productivity. This was achieved by examining the effect of leader\u2013member exchange on happiness at work and identifying the mediating role of organizational trust in interpreting this relationship.
\nThe main findings revealed a structural interconnection among the three variables within the proposed model. The results also indicated a non-significant direct effect contrasted with a significant indirect effect of leader\u2013member exchange on happiness at work through organizational trust, confirming the existence of full mediation by the organizational trust variable.
\nThe study recommended that organizations, particularly in the tourism sector, benefit from these findings by redirecting their development programs toward building organizational trust and strengthening leadership interaction patterns with members. Such efforts would contribute to improving happiness at work and creating a positive organizational environment that supports the achievement of institutional goals in tourism organizations.
\nThe examination committee consisted of:
\nProfessor Dr. Mayson Abdullah Ahmed \u2013 College of Administration and Economics \/ University of Mosul as a chair,\u00a0 Professor Dr. Wissam Ali Hussein \u2013 College of Administration and Economics \/ University of Fallujah as a member, Assistant Professor Dr. Iman Basheer Mohammed \u2013 College of Administration and Economics \/ University of Mosul as a member, Assistant Professor Dr. Safaa Idrees Abboudi \u2013 College of Administration and Economics \/ University of Mosul as a member
