Abstract: This study aims to explore the mediating role of strategic readiness in the relationship between strategic vigilance and organisational effectiveness and testing the study model in Iraqi industrial organisations and the dissemination of the contents of strategic vigilance therein. A survey (44 items in the context of three major variables) was created to gather data and information from four firms for this purpose using a descriptive-analytical method. The study data was analysed using SPSS version 23. Our findings show that strategic vigilance through strategic readiness has a considerable impact on organisational effectiveness. When compared to the 36% coefficient of determination for the impact of strategic vigilance alone on organisational effectiveness, the percentage of the impact of strategic vigilance through strategic preparedness increased to 54.2%. This is one of the first studies to investigate the interdependence and mediating role of strategic readiness in improving organisational effectiveness.

Keywords: strategic vigilance; strategic readiness; organisational effectiveness.
