Measuring the Impact of Knowledge Management, Leadership, Employee Commitment, and Employee Engagement on the HEIs Sustainability in Iraq

Abstract

This paper aims to emphasize how the behavioural factors offered at Iraqi higher education institutions can influence sustainability performance. The conclusions are based on a pilot questionnaire conducted by the authors on the level of Iraqi academics in public universities. A sample of 100 respondents served as the basis for the results. Based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient test, the results show that all of the measures above the 0.70 benchmark and had high reliability coefficients that varied from 0.80 to 0.96 with no appreciable variation of skewness values from zero. The study's findings also showed that sustainability performance was highly influenced by knowledge management, leadership, employee commitment, and employee engagement. The study confirmed the effectiveness of the instrument used to analyze various particular predicators of HEI sustainability in Iraq. This model is promising since it demonstrates an increase in behavioral variance in an explanatory manner.
