High-involvement practices encompass empowerment, information sharing, training and development, and rewards and are posited to strengthen organizational health is measured by seven,dimensions: managerial efficiency, amicable power relations, human resource development orientations and practices, team orientation, organizational values, innovation, and last one is morale.. Meanwhile, organizational health reflects an institution’s capacity to maintain internal balance and adapt to change, characterized by leadership efficiency, amiable power relations, human resource development orientation, collective orientation, organizational values, creativity, and high morale. This study aimed to examine the impact of high-involvement practices on organizational health in three Middle Euphrates region universities (Al-Qadisiyah, Kufa, and Al-Muthanna). A descriptive-analytical methodology was adopted, with data collected via a structured questionnaire administered to 252 faculty members across these universities. The data were analyzed using SPSS (v26) and AMOS (v23). The results revealed a significant positive relationship between high-involvement practices and organizational health. Among the high-involvement dimensions, empowerment and information sharing emerged as the most influential, leading to notable improvements in creativity and faculty morale. These findings underscore the value of participatory, empowerment-based management in fostering a healthier academic work environment. | ||
