Abstract

The current study aims at pinpointing the degree of organizational improvisation among the heads of academic departments from the perspective of the faculty members at Yarmouk and Ajloun Universities according to gender, university, faculty, academic rank, and the number of years of experience. To achieve the objectives of the study, the descriptive approach is used. The data is collected by applying a questionnaire to a sample of (280) faculty members selected by a random sampling method. The findings indicate that the degree of organizational improvisation practiced by the heads of academic departments is medium with a mean (3.36). The results also show that there are no statistically significant differences due to the variables of gender, university, and years of experience. Besides, the findings demonstrate that there are differences due to the variables of faculty and academic rank in favor of scientific faculties and associate professors, respectively. In light of the findings, the study recommends meeting emergency and modern needs through organizing the procedures and means of providing service and giving significance to the tools of strategic analysis for their ability to discover the surrounding opportunities and threats.
