The Impact of Entrepreneurial Leadership on Organizational Risk Management: The Modified Role of Strategic Thinking in Jordanian Commercial Banks

Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the impact of entrepreneurial leadership on risk management and to clarify the modified role of strategic thinking in enhancing the effect of entrepreneurial leadership on organizational risk management in Jordanian commercial banks. The researcher adopted the descriptive-analytical methodology, targeting managers and department heads. The researcher employed a simple random sampling method with a sample size of (199) managers and department heads. Various appropriate statistical methods were used, and the study reached several results, including a high level of interest and practice in entrepreneurial leadership and organizational risk management dimensions However., the levels of strategic thinking practice were moderate.

The study results indicated a statistically significant impact of entrepreneurial leadership on organizational risk management and a modified impact of strategic thinking in improving the effect of entrepreneurial leadership on organizational risk management. In light of the study results, the researcher proposed several recommendations, including the necessity of enhancing the skills of entrepreneurial leadership, risk management, and strategic thinking in these banks. This is to develop organizational capabilities to confront internal and external risks, enhance predictive abilities, and build scenarios to identify, assess, and address risks, steering them away or minimizing their impact on commercial banks.
