Measuring the extent of the trend towards organizational improvisation: a survey study in the power stations of the northern region

Abstract

The study aimed to measure the extent of the trend towards organizational improvisation in a number of power stations in the northern region, where the importance of improvisation increased with the organizations orientation to work in turbulent and complex environments, which includes decision-making in conditions of high uncertainty. Hence, the problem of the study emerged from raising a major question: To what extent are the administrations oriented towards organizational improvisation in the power stations of the northern region, the study sample. For the purpose of achieving the goal of the study, the study adopted the descriptive and analytical approach, and power stations (Qayyarah, Al-Mansour, Al Sharqiya, Baiji First, Baiji Second) were chosen as fields for the study. In the study, the researchers adopted the questionnaire as a main tool for that. The study reached several conclusions, the most important of which is the positive orientation of the surveyed stations’ administrations towards the practices of organizational improvisation in emergency conditions and crises that occur in the stations. Suggested developing an effective strategy to focus on organizational improvisation, and invest in individuals who have experience and directions towards discovering and exploiting opportunities.
