The Impact of Adopting Good Governance Strategies on Enhancing Organizational Agility: An Analytical Study Based on the Perspectives of Security Leaders in the Iraqi Ministry of Interior / Police Affairs Agency

Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of adopting good governance strategies on enhancing organizational agility within the structures of the Iraqi Ministry of Interior. The research employed a descriptive-analytical approach using a questionnaire to gather the opinions of security leaders in the Ministry of Interior / Police Affairs Agency. A sample of 100 security leaders was surveyed. Good governance was treated as the independent variable, encompassing the key dimensions of transparency, accountability, justice, integrity, and participation, whereas organizational agility represented the dependent (unidimensional) variable. The findings revealed a significant positive impact of the dimensions of good governance on strengthening organizational agility by improving adaptability to risks, ensuring continuity of security performance, and increasing responsiveness to emerging challenges.

Conclusions: Good governance serves as a pivotal factor in achieving organizational agility by fostering employee trust, ensuring procedural clarity, and enhancing institutional efficiency and readiness.

Recommendation: Broader implementation of good governance dimensions is advised, alongside the development of oversight and transparency systems, and the adoption of training programs to enhance the competencies of security leaders, thereby supporting agility in responding to evolving threats
