The current study sought to test the level of contribution of each of the strategic renewal with its dimensions represented by (exploring opportunities, forming new ideas, and investing opportunities) in achieving organizational survival with its dimensions represented by (the ability to adapt, maintaining high-performance standards, achieving job performance goals), as it adopted strategic renewal in its theoretical framework as an independent variable. In contrast, organizational survival came as a dependent variable.

The questionnaire form was used as a primary tool for collecting data and information by selecting a deliberate sample represented by the instructors and heads of departments in private colleges with a total of (30), and the descriptive analytical approach was relied upon in presenting and analyzing the study information. In order to process the data, the researcher used a number of statistical methods, namely the weighted arithmetic mean, response intensity, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, simple correlation coefficient (Pearson), and simple and multiple regression coefficients.

One of the most prominent conclusions reached by the study is that the colleges in the study sample seek to enhance their interest in exploring new opportunities and entrepreneurship to invest in these opportunities in addition to adopting a distinct structural design that depends on clear organizational procedures and the smooth flow of information within the leadership's participation in exchanging information to achieve organizational survival.

Employing Foreign Workers in The Current Iraqi Labor Law

Mustafa Habeeb Obaid Al Imari — 2025-01-06

It is one of the essential topics related to regulating the labour market in Iraq, especially in light of the increasing need for foreign workers in various sectors such as oil, construction, and industry. The Iraqi Labor Law No. 37 of 2015, which aims to guarantee the rights of workers in general, including foreigners, regulates them, as it requires their employment according to certain conditions. The most prominent of these conditions is obtaining a work permit from the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs and that the local worker cannot fill the available job.

The law also protects the rights of the foreign worker in several aspects, such as determining working hours, fair wages, and his right to obtain annual leave. It also requires employers to provide a safe and healthy work environment according to approved standards. In addition, the law obliges foreign companies investing in Iraq to employ a certain percentage of local workers while allowing them to employ foreigners when necessary.

However, implementing these laws faces several challenges, most notably weak oversight in some sectors, which leads to some employers exploiting foreign workers. Some companies also prefer to employ foreigners due to the low cost of labour, which creates tensions with local workers. However, the law shows great interest in balancing the local market's needs and attracting foreign investments.
