Abstract
Abstract The aim of the current study is to test the direct impact of the environmental texturethrough its four classifications (Placid, Randomized Environment, Placid, Cluster Environment, Disturbed-Reactive Environment, and Turbulent Fields)on organizational decline. For the purpose of data collection, the study relied on the questionnaire as a main tool that was prepared by developing measures in the light of the ideas contained in the articles of specialized researchers and theorists in the field of study variables. To achieve the goal of the study, (192) of the leaders of private higher education were targeted (the university president, the university president’s assistant for scientific affairs, the university president’s assistant for administrative affairs, the dean of the college, the assistant dean for scientific affairs, the assistant dean for administrative affairs, the head of the department) working in (129) A university and a private college in the governorates of the Middle Euphrates, with a total community of (335) members of university leaders, distributed to them the study tool (questionnaire form) to survey opinions about the variables of the study. Confirmation factor, validity and reliability test, mean and standard deviation, Pearson's simple correlation coefficient, simple linear declineequation, multiple linear declineequation, coefficient of relative variance, and relative importance. By adopting statistical programs (AMOS V.26, SPSS V26, SMART PLS V.3.3). The results proved the validity of the study’s hypotheses, and the study came out with a set of results, perhaps the most prominent of which is that the environment in which private universities and colleges operate is a turbulent environmentcharacterized by high complexity and dynamism, in addition to an impact of the environmental textureon organizational decline.Keywords:environmentaltexture, organizational decline, environmentalcomplexity, environmentaldynamism, environmentaluncertainty.The first topic: the methodology ofthe studyFirst: the study problemThe problem of the study can be stated in the following questions: -1-What is the prevailing type of environment? Is it possible for the senior leaders in the colleges under study to diagnose the features of their environment in light of the complexity and dynamism?2-What is the level of organizational decline that private universities and colleges may suffer from? To what extent are college leaders aware of the importance of studying the phenomenon of organizational decline?3-What is the nature and type of relationship between the environmental texture and organizational decline?4-How does the environmental texture affect organizational decline?Second:the importance of the studyThe importance of the current study is embodied in its variables as follows:
