Abstract
The research aims to determine the relationship and impact of organizational power in private universities, represented in its dimensions (hard power, flexible power), in the dimensions of the entrepreneurial orientation represented in (orientation towards creativity, orientation towards risk tolerance, proactivity).
The general framework of the research is the research problem, which was identified by asking several questions about the nature of the relationship and the effect between the independent variable (organizational strength) and the dependent variable (entrepreneurial orientation). All were for multiple tests and the questionnaire was used as the main data acquisition tool.
The research followed the descriptive-analytical approach, where the main and sub-variables were described, as well as analyzing the relationships and influence between the variables, representing the research community in all private universities in the city of Erbil in the Kurdistan Region. Iraq has 9 universities. The sample was represented by (7) universities, and the number of college council members was (79) respondents in the sample of the selected universities. The hypotheses were tested by a set of statistical tests using the computer program (SPSS V.23).
The research reached a set of conclusions, the most important of which is the existence of positive correlations and strong influences between the main and sub-variables at the macro and micro levels. The research suggested a set of proposals, including the necessity of harnessing the strong relationships between the two variables and directing them towards serving the researched universities.
