Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the role of organizational physics in enhancing entrepreneurial behavior from the perspective of faculty members at Tikrit University. The study adopted the descriptive-analytical approach as the most appropriate method for achieving its objectives and testing its hypotheses. Data were collected through a questionnaire distributed to a sample of 381 faculty members at Tikrit University. All distributed questionnaires were successfully retrieved, achieving a 100% response rate, which provided a complete dataset for statistical analysis. The study employed several statistical techniques, including the mean and standard deviation, and analyzed the data using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS Version 28). The findings revealed a strong positive relationship between the dimensions of organizational physics (organizational energy, organizational structure, and organizational influence) and the dimensions of entrepreneurial behavior (creativity and innovation, proactive initiative, and risk-taking). Furthermore, the results indicated that organizational energy was the most influential dimension of organizational physics in promoting entrepreneurial behavior among faculty members.
