Abstract
This research aims to analyze and interpret the relationship between agile leadership and reducing employee turnover at the University of Fallujah. It also seeks to assess the university's level of interest in the research variables and their dimensions, as well as to utilize the intellectual, cognitive, and behavioral frameworks interpreted by the current research axes, both theoretically and practically. Based on this, the research problem was identified, reflected in the main question: "What is the role of agile leadership in reducing employee turnover behaviors at the University of Fallujah?" By defining the research problem, a hypothetical model was constructed to reflect the correlation and impact between its variables, aiming to achieve the most accurate results that can be used to address the research problem. To this end, the University of Fallujah in Anbar Governorate was selected as the appropriate environment for the research variables. A purposive sample of 67 individuals with significant interaction with the research variables was selected. To further the scientific methodology, the descriptive-analytical approach was chosen to interpret the theoretical and applied research axes and arrive at sound results. Accordingly, the primary research instrument, a questionnaire, was used and analyzed using a set of statistical methods, including the arithmetic mean. Standard deviation, significance, and linear regression were used to achieve the research objectives. The statistical analysis showed a number of results that support the validity of the hypotheses and the validity of its hypothetical scheme, which was embodied in the existence of an inverse relationship of influence between agile leadership and job withdrawal at the University of Fallujah.
