Abstract
The research aimed at diagnosing the reality of external organizational sustainability practices in some Iraqi organizations and comparing them. The research problem focused on the following questions: What is the availability of external organizational sustainability practices in the researched organizations? Do organizations differ in terms of their interest in these practices? For achieving the objectives of the research, several main and subsidiary hypotheses were formulated. The research adopted the descriptive approach in presenting the intellectual and theoretical frameworks, as well as the comparative approach within the field side of the study for data processing, analysis and interpretation. The field of research was chosen in the Iraqi industrial organizations and represented the research community by (the Northern Cement Associate, and the General Company for Sulfur Al-Mishraq), while the research sample was intentionally selected from individuals working in administrative positions within the different organizational levels in the organizations investigated, and their number reached (171) individuals. The questionnaire was used as a main tool in data collection. Also, a number of statistical methods were used to process field data and test research hypotheses. One of the most important conclusions that was reached was the existence of a discrepancy in the focus of the surveyed organizations’ concerns regarding external organizational sustainability practices, but both organizations were interested in economic practices to a large extent compared to other practices.
