The Impact of Human Resource Maintenance on Enhancing Strategic Creativity

A Field Study at the Open Educational College / Nineveh Study Center

Abstract

The research aims to demonstrate the effect of human resource maintenance, represented by its dimensions (social welfare, healthcare, and occupational safety), in enhancing strategic creativity, represented by its dimensions (strategic creativity management, strategic alignment, organizational readiness, and continuity and creative development), within the General Directorate of Education in Nineveh Governorate. The study was applied to a sample of employees at the Nineveh Study Center of the Open Educational College in Nineveh Governorate, totaling 80 participants. The researchers distributed the questionnaire to all employees in the center (85 in total), of which 82 were retrieved, and 80 were valid for statistical analysis. The researchers employed the statistical program (SPSS) to conduct multiple statistical tests on the questionnaire data, such as reliability, normal distribution, arithmetic means, standard deviations, and response rates, in addition to applying correlation and linear regression tests to examine the research hypotheses. The findings revealed a strong significant correlation as well as an effect between human resource maintenance and strategic creativity at both the overall and dimensional levels. The dimensions ranked in order of correlation and effect beginning with occupational safety, followed by healthcare, and finally social welfare. Furthermore, the study confirmed the existence of significant differences among the responses of the surveyed sample.
