Abstract

The present study investigates two primary variables: organizational optimism in its aspects (personal optimism, social optimism) and radiant leadership in its several forms (radiant performance, radiant cognitive). This is accomplished by getting the views of a Najaf Health Directorate staff sample. The researcher applied a method of random sampling. The main instrument for gathering the necessary information in order to reach this aim was a questionnaire. There were (185) community under-study personnel who answered the questionnaire. Out of the total returned questionnaires, the number of legitimate ones for statistical analysis came out to be (181), following the assessment of the surveys. Programs (SPSS.28) and (AMOS.26) helped to evaluate these questions statistically. The findings revealed a noteworthy relationship and effect between improving organizational optimism and brilliant leadership. The results of the present work try to close or close the knowledge gap between organizational optimism and radiant leadership variables. Focusing on improving their skills in cognitive radiance and performance radiance, the report advises the departments of the Najaf Health Directorate currently under investigation to invest in creating specialized training programs for leaders.
