The Role of Strategic Transparency in Enhancing Organizational Culture Strategy: An Exploratory Study of the Opinions of a Sample of Instructors in the College of Administration and Economics, Tikrit University

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the concept of strategic transparency (henceforth, ST) and its role in promoting organizational culture strategies (henceforth, OCSs). The study included two main variables, namely the independent variable (ST) with three dimensions (organizational accountability, information disclosure, and strategic response), and the dependent variable (OCS) with three dimensions (involvement, consistency, and mission). The research community consisted of instructors from the college of Administration and Economics. A simple random sample consisting of (30) respondents was selected. The questionnaire form was distributed to the study sample and (28) forms were retrieved. The study employed an analytical and descriptive approach using the statistical software of (SPSS). The main focus of the study was formed in this question which represented the research problem: what is the role of ST in promoting OCS? A hypothetical framework illustrating the nature of the relationship between variables and dimensions was developed and explained through the research hypotheses. Then, the study revealed a relationship between ST and OCS, and the influence of ST in the strategy of organizational culture. The study concluded with a set of recommendations for the organization studied, the most important of which included the importance of understanding OCS in the business organization through the adoption of ST. In addition, a set of proposals should be presented for future research areas related to the current research variables.
