Abstract
The current research aims to study the role played by organizational improvisation in achieving organizational sustainability through the mediating role of information quality. Al-Tunsa and Mahmoud Companies were selected as the research field, where the research community was represented by the employees of the two companies under study. A sample of employees was selected and their number was (115). The research relied on the questionnaire form as a source for collecting data and measuring the research variables. It was analyzed using statistical methods represented by the program (SPSS Ver. 25). It relied on the descriptive analytical approach, which is an appropriate approach for studying social and behavioral phenomena. One of the most important results of the research were the existence of a significant impact of organizational improvisation on organizational sustainability, in addition to the mediating role of information quality in the influential relationship of organizational improvisation on organizational sustainability. This indicates that organizational improvisation plays a large and important role in the two companies' quest to achieve organizational sustainability. Accordingly, it is suggested that the two companies under study enhance their capacity for organizational improvisation to achieve their goals and work on developing special programs to develop their capabilities in order to achieve organizational sustainability.
