Abstract

     The study aimed to test the effect of cognitive models of strategic resilience on sustainable strategic performance. The Al-Furat State Company for Chemical Industries and Pesticides in Babil Governorate was selected as the field for this study. Data was collected through a questionnaire. The study sample included (115) decision-makers in the company. The data was analyzed by benefiting from the statistical program (SPSS, V.23), and a set of statistical methods were used to process the data, including (descriptive statistics, correlation coefficients, and gradient multiple regression analysis). The study reached a number of results, the most important of which are: the adoption of rational corrective measures by the company's leaders (reaction) in the field of responding to environmental changes rather than being rationally proactive.
