Abstract:
This research aims to identify the importance of organizational development in Sirte

Cancer Treatment Center, focusing on its four dimensions: organizational structure,
organizational culture, reengineering, and innovation culture, and its impact on social
sustainability from the perspective of the employees within the center. The significance
of organizational development on social sustainability is highlighted through ensuring the
adaptation to ongoing changes and developments.
The research adopted a descriptive-analytical approach using questionnaires. The
research population consists of employees at Sirte Cancer Treatment Center. A simple
random sample will be selected from the administrative leaders, department heads, units,
and divisions. The Morgan table will be used to determine the sample size, and the
questionnaire will be analyzed using statistical programs and methods, including the
SPSS program. The study reached important justifications and recommendations for
further research.
Introduction:
The world is undergoing numerous economic, political, intellectual, and social changes to
maintain continuity and excellence. The biggest challenge facing organizations is to
establish an effective administrative structure that achieves development and leadership
to keep up with all the environmental changes and developments. This requires the
necessity of change for organizations to operate in a more flexible and responsive
environment.
Problem Statement:
The concept of organizational development varies from one organization to another
depending on its type, activities, structure, goals, mission, and vision. It is one of the key
outputs that must be understood to ensure effective performance within an organization.
This is achieved by applying changes and renewing organizational processes, focusing
continuously on organizational culture, structures, procedures, policies, information, and
adopted behaviors. This research aims to understand the role of organizational
development in social sustainability, as the environment is constantly changing. There are
also some challenges related to organizational development, which justify studying this
topic. These justifications include the researcher’s review of several previous studies and
the focus on organizational development and its impact on social sustainability, or prior
recommendations from several studies, such as the study by Methal bint Hussein bin
Hassan Al-Mohaimeed titled "The Impact of Organizational Development on
Organizational Sustainability – A Study Applied to Taif University in 2023" and the
study by Marhalah Mohamed Abu Al-Nasr titled "Social Sustainability: Strategies, Goals,
Dimensions, Principles, and Projects" in 2024. Furthermore, an exploratory interview was
conducted with heads of various units within the center, targeting several key leaders,
including five department heads: the head of storage, the head of social services, the head
of maintenance, the head of the scientific committee, and the administrative supervisor of
the center. This interview revealed several issues.
The organizational development problems include a lack of equipment, curricula, and

expertise, as well as a shortage of developmental training courses and funding.
Administrative development issues involve unclear responsibilities and authority, and
there is no sufficient focus on fostering development. Most employees lack a clear
administrative vision and have not been taught essential administrative development
steps. They do not perform their tasks based on instructions and lack a clear
understanding of new development approaches. New development strategies have not
been well implemented due to the prevailing culture within the center, which views new
methods as requiring more effort and time. Some employees are resistant to change
because they are accustomed to the old administrative system. There is also a lack of
fairness in distributing incentives and rewards, with no clear system for doing so. There is
some level of cooperation among staff, but social justice is not fully applied in the center,
and there are some instances where the lack of a clear formal language causes issues. In
terms of social security, there are also some obstacles.
The questions from the previous interview were summarized in the proposal and
presented in an initial form in a table. The table included four questions focused on the
independent variable (organizational development) and four questions focused on the
dependent variable (social sustainability).
The main research question is:

To what extent does organizational development affect social sustainability?
3. Research Theories:
To answer several questions and achieve the research objectives, the following main
hypothesis was formulated:
Main Hypothesis: There is a statistically significant effect of organizational
development on social sustainability.
From this main hypothesis, the following sub-hypotheses were derived:
Sub-hypothesis 1: There is a statistically significant effect of the organizational structure
dimension on social sustainability.
Sub-hypothesis 2: There is a statistically significant effect of the organizational culture
Sub-hypothesis 3: There is a statistically significant effect of the reengineering
Sub-hypothesis 4: There is a statistically significant effect of adopting an innovation
culture on social sustainability.
4. Study Model:
(The image includes a model linking the independent variable "organizational
development" with its dimensions: organizational structure, organizational culture,
reengineering, and innovation culture, to the dependent variable "social sustainability.")
