ABSTRACT

This study sought to know the role of the functional fingerprint in reducing and supporting the manifestations of chaos in the work environment. The study relied on the descriptive analytical approach. The main research problem revolved around a basic question: Does the functional fingerprint have a role in reducing the manifestations of chaos in the work environment? The study focused on two main hypotheses that assume that there is a correlation and impact between the functional fingerprint and the manifestations of chaos in the work environment. Sadr Medical City was chosen as a community to apply the study and the medical staff working in it. The sample of the study consisted of (185) respondents. The questionnaire was used as a main tool for data collection and was analyzed by the (spssv.23) program. The study reached a set of conclusions, the most important of which are: There is a positive correlation between the functional fingerprint and the manifestations of chaos in the work environment, and this indicates The job imprint left by the employee in his field of work has an effective and important role in reducing the manifestations of chaos in the work environment , as well as the existence of a positive impact relationship between the job imprint and the manifestations of chaos in the work environment. This means that reducing the effectiveness of the manifestations of chaos in the work environment requires the presence of competent and effective administrative leaders in the field of harmonizing between the internal and external environment and identifying the most important problems and challenges and diagnosing the strengths and weaknesses of the organization. The current study confirmed that the medical staff in the research organization has high indicators of the job imprint in a way that contributes to reducing the manifestations of chaos in the work environment at the level of environmental complexity, environmental mobility and environmental uncertainty.
