Abstract
Purpose: The current study aims to know the synergistic relationship between strategic foresight and organizational improvisation and their role in achieving pioneering performance, by exploring the opinions of a sample of leaders, managers and heads of departments in the researched companies on a sample of workers in the Oil Projects Company - Karbala Refinery Project Authority.
Design/methodology: The problem of the study was identified by a number of questions, the most important of which was (Is achieving entrepreneurial performance a function of both strategic insight and organizational improvisation? What is the size of the impact of each of them in achieving entrepreneurial performance) What is the extent of its importance to them and what is the nature and level of interest in it? The industrial sector, and the low achievement of entrepreneurial performance is due to weakness in organizational improvisation or lack of effective investment in strategic insight in the number of companies surveyed. After sorting and checking the data, the number of valid questionnaires for analysis was (302) out of a total of (333) questionnaires retrieved.
The current study sought to select a number of main and sub-hypotheses related to the correlations and influence relationships between the variables of the study. In order to answer the questions related to the problem of the study and reach the objectives set, and in order to process the data, many statistical methods were used (normal distribution, arithmetic mean, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equations modeling) using the SPSS25 statistical program, Smartpls program, and Amose v.25 program.
Theoretical results: There is a knowledge gap about the interpretation of the nature of the relationship between the variables of the current study represented by the two independent variables organizational improvisation and strategic insight and the dependent variable entrepreneurial performance.
Practical results: The study reached several results, the most important of which was that each of the variables of organizational improvisation and strategic physiognomy are related and affected by the entrepreneurial performance variable.
