Abstract
The research aimed to identify the mediating role of cognitive complexity in the relationship between psychological hardiness among decision-makers and the application of the decision loop (OODA) model. The focus was mainly on the role of managers as decision makers, the basis for the success of organizations, and the maintenance of psychological hardiness among decision makers, enabling them to perceive environmental events and process information in a correct way to make decisions in the face of complex events in a changing environment. The research was applied to the community of (Thi-Qar Health) departments through an intentional sample consisting of (83) directors, who hold the positions of general manager, sector manager, hospital director and head of the department. The questionnaire was adopted as a measurement tool, to collect the necessary data. The data was processed using a set of statistical methods, including (arithmetic mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, Pearson correlation coefficient, confirmatory factor analysis). The research came out with a set of results, including the availability of the components of psychological hardiness and cognitive complexity in a good percentage among the research sample, with an increase in the effect of psychological hardiness in the decision loop (OODA) with the presence of the mediating variable, cognitive complexity.
