Organizational Culture’s Involvement Dimension and Academic Staff Task Performance
Abstract
The influence of empowerment, team orientation, and capability development dimensions of involvement on academic staff’s task performance at Cihan University-Erbil is examined in this paper. By shedding light on the link between these involvement characteristics and academic staff task performance, this study adds to the body of knowledge in the field of organizational behavior and management. This research uses a quantitative methodology. Based on well-known theories and scales for task performance, empowerment, team orientation, and capability development, a questionnaire is created. Academic staff members from Cihan University-Erbil’s various departments make up the sample. To guarantee representation and generalizability of the results, a random sampling approach is used. The study contributed to the body of knowledge on involvement performance in this setting by demonstrating how academic staff task performance was positively impacted by empowerment, team orientation, and capability development. Furthermore, the results offer significant perspectives for academic staff and university administrators on how to raise the degrees of empowerment, team orientation, and capability development to enhance academic staff task performance.
