Abstract:The aims of this paper is to investigate the relationship between job rotation and the administrative
reform process at Al-Qadisiyah University. The research sample was identified, 129 questionnaire ( deans, deputy of
deans,, and heads of departmental) forms were distributed to all faculties of Al- Qadisiyah University. Only (16) forms
were rejected for non-validity and failure to meet the required conditions for answering the questionnaire. Thus, the
total number of valid forms for study and analysis was 113 with an 88% retrieval rate. Data, analyzed using AMOS v.20
and SPSS v.24. The results proved the validity of the hypotheses and reached a set of conclusions, the most important of
which was the contribution of work rotation to the development of performance and the strengthening of the capabilities
of senior leaders, as well as to resisting change resulting from the belief that the job belongs to the employee. Moreover,
one of the main reasons for the failure of the administrative reform process is that it dealt with administrative problems
independently of the environmental surroundings that interact with. Influence and are affected by the administrative
system. In the light of the conclusions reached by the research, some recommendations were formulated. The most
important of these was the implementation of a law of periodic and permanent rotation to reduce the monotony and
routine of work. which may generate boredom, and the application of the principles of fairness and fair administration
in implementing this law. The organization, s administration must show interest and conduct research into transparency,
integrity, administrative accountability and administrative corruption programs to enhance the employee’s sense of
belonging to his job, as well as his commitment to a work ethic and values that reflect a high level of reform culture,
loyalty and dedication.
