"THE ROLE OF MANAGEMENT IN ACHIEVING PRODUCTIVE AGILITY: A CASE STUDY AT PETRONAS IN THE AL-GHARRAF" OIL FIELD

Abstract

My current" research aims to clarify the role and contribution of management (the management of Petronas Oil Company) in achieving production efficiency through its oil and gas extraction operations in the Al-Gharraf oil field, and to ascertain the existence or absence of a correlation between the independent variable, management, and the dependent variable, oil production efficiency. In order to arrive at an explanation of my research problem, I assumed a first affirmative hypothesis stating that there is a correlation between the management variable, focusing on the dimension of (planning and control), and the production efficiency variable with its dimensions (production maintenance and improving production quality), and a second negative hypothesis stating that there is no correlation between the independent variable, management, and the dependent variable with its aforementioned dimensions . The descriptive approach was used to cover the theoretical framework of the research, while the quantitative approach was used in the practical framework. A questionnaire and the SPSS statistical software were used to obtain the research results. (25) questionnaires were distributed to a group of employees of Petronas Company, Al-Gharraf Oil Field branch, in Al-Rifai District, Thi Qar Governorate. The results of my research indicate a positive and direct correlation between management and production agility, and that management, especially strategic or senior management, is one of the most prominent and important factors contributing to achieving production" agility.
