Abstract

The current study aims to examine the relationship and impact of human resource flexibility and its dimensions (skill flexibility, behavioral flexibility, flexibility of practices, and coordination flexibility) on strategic position and its dimensions (shaping expectations and visions, building social networks, and learning processes). To fulfill the research aims, a descriptive analytical technique was utilized, with a questionnaire devised to gather data from leaders in (11) private hospitals in Sulaymaniyah City. The questionnaire was delivered to all leaders both personally and electronically via (Google Form). After selecting and analyzing the questionnaires, there were (145) questionnaires appropriate for statistical analysis. The data was analyzed using a variety of statistical approaches, including (SPSS V.26 and AMOS V.26). The research reached a set of results, the most important of which is the existence of a direct correlation between human resource flexibility and strategic position, in addition to the existence of a significant impact of human resource flexibility in strategic position. Based on the conclusions, a set of recommendations were formulated. Most importantly, private hospitals should increase their focus on human resource flexibility and its dimensions, as this has a significant impact on strengthening the hospital's strategic position.
