Abstract

The study explores the impact of strategic planning to achieve recommendations that improve efficiency and effectiveness in tertiary institutions in Libya. The study was carried out exclusively on employees at the University of Tripoli. The importance of this study stems, in particular, from its academic and professional contributions, to the universities of Tripoli. The study favored descriptive and analytical approaches that provide a deeper insight into what's going to happen in the future and give more accurate, reliable results than pure analysis. A total of 458 executives and staff, including faculties and institutes at the University of Tripoli, make up the research's universe. In this work, participants are identified by the sampling method. After examining each subdimension of strategic planning independently with the University of Tripoli's performance level, significant differences were found for the following two variables. These sub-dimensions can be sorted by strategic analysis and strategic selection. At the University of Tripoli's performance level, no significant differences were found for the following sub-dimensions. These can be sorted by strategic vision, mission and objectives. Finally, because of the academic competency variables and the current business area, it has been found that there are statistically significant differences in participants' positions on strategic planning level, and that participants' positions on demographic data and performance concepts have been statistically differentiated based on existing business area variables.
