The restricted management

Author: Hatim Mansour The doctoral thesis titled "Restricted Management: A Critical Reading of Centralization, Cliqueism, Racism, and Randomness in Executive Management" dissects the hidden structures that hinder the effectiveness of institutions and impede their progress toward efficiency and organizational justice. The study begins with an in-depth observation of management patterns in which authority becomes a constraint, decision-making turns into a narrow privilege, and the professional environment becomes a space burdened with bias and disorder. The thesis relies on a systematic survey analysis, carefully designed to measure the perceptions of employees at multiple administrative levels, with data being extracted and statistically analyzed to reveal the relationships between excessive centralization, the spread of cliqueism, entrenched racist tendencies, and the dominance of randomness in decision-making. The results showed an internal interconnectedness among these factors, each fueling the other, forming a closed system that undermines the spirit of initiative and weakens institutional trust. Based on this analysis, the study offers a critical and practical framework aimed at liberating management from its constraints by establishing good governance principles, enhancing transparency, and consolidating organizational justice, thereby opening horizons for a more fair, effective, and sustainable management.
