Abstract : The aim of the current study is to test the direct impact of the environmental texture through its four
classifications (Placid, Randomized Environment, Placid, Cluster Environment, Disturbed-Reactive Environment,
and Turbulent Fields) on organizational decline. For the purpose of data collection, the study relied on the
questionnaire as a main tool that was prepared by developing measures in the light of the ideas contained in the
articles of specialized researchers and theorists in the field of study variables. To achieve the goal of the study, (192)
of the leaders of private higher education were targeted (the university president, the university president’s assistant
for scientific affairs, the university president’s assistant for administrative affairs, the dean of the college, the
assistant dean for scientific affairs, the assistant dean for administrative affairs, the head of the department) working
in (19) A university and a private college in the governorates of the Middle Euphrates, with a total community of
(335) members of university leaders, distributed to them the study tool (questionnaire form) to survey opinions about
the variables of the study. Confirmation factor, validity and reliability test, mean and standard deviation, Pearson’s
simple correlation coefficient, simple linear regression, multiple linear regression, coefficient of relative variance,
and relative importance. By adopting statistical programs (AMOS V.26, SPSS V26, SMART PLS V.3.3). The results
proved the validity of the study’s hypotheses, and the study came out with a set of results, perhaps the most prominent
of which is that the environment in which private universities and colleges operate is a turbulent environment
characterized by high complexity and dynamism, in addition to an impact of the environmental texture on
organizational decline.
Keywords: environmental texture, organizational decline, environmental complexity, environmental dynamism, environmental uncertainty.
