Leadership traits, institutional performance, University of Kufa presidencyAbstract
The purpose of the current research is to identify the conceptual and intellectual foundations of the variables of leadership traits and institutional performance, diagnose their levels in the presidency of Al-Kufa University, and test the correlation and impact relationships between them. The research problem lies in the existence of a disparity in institutional performance levels due to the variation in the efficiency of leadership traits among administrative leaders. The research adopted the descriptive-analytical method by describing the intellectual contents of its variables and designing its scale based on the literature and previous studies. The questionnaire form was adopted as the main tool for data collection, consisting of (40) items distributed across the main and sub-variables. It was distributed to a random sample of (300) questionnaires, of which (170) valid questionnaires for statistical analysis were retrieved from the research population of (822) individuals working in the Presidency of the University of Kufa. The research relied on the statistical program (SPSS V.27) to test its hypotheses related to correlation and influence relationships. The research concluded that leadership traits directly contribute to improving institutional performance.
