Abstract

This study aimed at knowing the effect of strategic thinking on the performance of higher administration in nongovernmental organizations that work in rehabilitation in the Gaza Strip (Applied study). It concerns with reaching recommendations which increase interest in such field, and develop and improve the level of top management to be able to provide distinct services for disabled persons in the Gaza strip. In addition, the study identifies compatibility extent of strategic thinking factors for top management at the targeted organizations and determines reality of current performance of such top management.

The study employed analytic descriptive method, besides field study through a questionnaire, as a main tool for data collection. The researcher followed comprehensive limitation method for the study target group, which consists of top management represented in board or directors' heads and members, organizations managers and projects managers in 26 nongovernmental organizations work in the rehabilitation sector, and the study sample targeted 95 persons in concern.

The study reached several Findings, and the most important were:

Strategic thinking factors are available at top management with 79.51%. There is a statistical relation at level 0.05 between strategic thinking

factors and the performance level of top management. There are statistical dissimilarities at level 0.05 among averages of

responses about the effect of strategic thinking on the performance of top management in nongovernmental organizations in Gaza Strip attributed to the level of education.

The study recommended several recommendations and the most important were:

The main recommendation is to enhance and support adopting relevant strategic thinking factors by managers of nongovernmental organizations. This will improve the quality of provided services. The study also includes some other recommendation as the following:

Work on raising awareness of top management about the importance of adopting strategic thinking approach.

Set effective assessment system to evaluate top management performance.

Work should match the organization message and goals and inculcate the principle of specialty to avoid competition in obtaining donations.

Develop specialized training courses about strategic thinking factors for managers and employees of nongovernmental organizations.
