The purpose of the current study is to identify the intellectual foundations of two variables (contradictory leadership behaviors and strategic ambiguity) and diagnose the level of adoption of contradictory leadership behaviors in the hospital, as the problem of the study was the presence of cases of strategic ambiguity in the hospital’s work. In order to answer the questions of the study and verify its objectives, the descriptive analytical approach was adopted, as the health sector, especially the Najaf Teaching Hospital in the Najaf Governorate, was represented in the field in application of it, and a random sample of the medical and nursing staff in the aforementioned hospital was selected, amounting to (264) individuals out of the adult community. (776) individuals, and the questionnaire form was adopted as a basic tool for collecting the necessary data and information. It consisted of (32) paragraphs that covered the study variables with their sub-dimensions. The study tested a number of hypotheses that were validated by the two statistical programs (Smart pls) and spssv.24. The study reached a set of conclusions, the most important of which is that adopting paradoxical leadership would reduce strategic ambiguity in the researched hospital.
