Abstract This research tries to find out the relationship and influence of positive psychological capital (self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience) on the dependent variable (innovative performance) represented by its three dimensions (idea generation, idea promotion, and idea application) in order to collect data. This research depends on questionnaire that was distributed to a sample of (423) instructors in (26) Colleges at the Universities of Qadissiya and Muthanna. The main focus of this research is to test two hypotheses derived from each three other sub hypotheses. This was achieved by using a set of statistical methods, such as statistical means, standard deviation and percentages, and correlation coefficients and ANOVA. The results extracted were based on statistical program (SPSS, V.20). The research found many conclusions that relate to the existence of positive correlation statistically significant to dimensions of positive psychological capital which can be combined individually with every dimension of innovative performance at varying levels and in different proportions. Moreover, it became clear that the respondents have a desire that departments of colleges would reward creative individuals who overcame the obstacles by exchanging ideas and information that will enable them to develop themselves and their colleges through the achievement of quality innovations. It is recommend that in order to discover the best ways to attract individuals with high leadership qualities that university leaders should develop the mechanisms to attract and retain those individuals through the twinning between universities and international organizations and with the aim of raising the innovative capabilities of teaching staff.

Abstract This study aims to present a clear perspective of the role played by dynamic capabilities in achieving organizational strategic renwal. For this purpose, the study introduced a comprehensive framework for the most important contributions of researchers about the variables of the study, supported by an analytical framework of the opinions of 171 university leaders (Deans, Dean assisstents and heads of departments) in 26 colleges of Al-Qadisiyah and Al-Muthana universities. The study addressed the dynamic capabilities as an independent variable through five dimensions, four of which are within the first order construct: sensing, learning, integrating, coordinating capabijity; and the fifth is within the second order construct which is reconfiguration capabijity. The strategic renewal was taken as a dependent variable with two dimensions: exploitative strategic renewal and explorative strategic renewal. The study used the questionaire as a main tool to collect data relative to its variables. Results showed a significant correlation between the dynamic capabilities with their various dimensions and the strategic renewal with its two dimensions. The study suggests a number of recommondations like the necessity of creating a clear and shared understanding among employees of the two universities about their strategic directions through involvement in the process of developing strategies related to their exploitative and exploratory activities and enable them to make decisions that support their dirrection toward innovation acticites.
