Authentic Leadership, Strategic Balance, Private Hospitals in Najaf Al-AshrafAbstract
The current study aims to investigate the relationship and impact of trustworthy leadership, with its dimensions (self-awareness, relational transparency, internalized moral perspective, balanced processing), in achieving strategic balance with its dimensions (information technology, operations, organization members, customers). This is to bridge the knowledge gap between these two variables. The study sought to answer questions reflecting the research problem, including whether there is a role for the relationship between trustworthy leadership and strategic balance in improving human resource management practices in private hospitals in Najaf Al-Ashraf city. The study relied on a questionnaire to measure the study variables and tested the relationship between them by selecting a random sample of 160 individuals working in the hospitals under study. Several statistical methods were used for the SPSS V.27 and Amos V.28 programs. To achieve the study's objectives, several main and sub-hypotheses were formulated to address the research problem and answer its questions to accept or reject these hypotheses. The study results indicated a high and significant correlation and impact between trustworthy leadership and strategic balance, along with a set of conclusions and recommendations derived from the study.
