Abstract
The study aimed to know the impact of the strategic mind of leaders in making strategic decisions at the University of Tikrit, and to achieve this goal, the researchers used the analytical Approach to analyze the data collected by the questionnaire, which is the main tool of the study. The study population was represented by all the deans and heads of departments at the University of Tikrit, who numbered (130) individuals. A sample of (97) individuals was drawn from them, and the questionnaire was distributed to them using a non-random sampling method (intentional). (93) valid questionnaires were retrieved for analysis and based on structural equation modeling by the partial squares method (SEM: PLS3).
The study concluded that the strategic mind of the leaders at the University of Tikrit contributes constructively to the decision-making, and accordingly the study proposes the development of the systemic thinking of the leaders so that they can reformulate all the decisions that are taken and are thus reflected on the effectiveness of the strategic decisions in the studied university.
