The researchers have chosen the current field of study in the Dhi Qar Municipalities Directorate, which is one of the service institutions affiliated with the Ministry of Construction, Housing and General Municipalities. The Directorate of Municipalities of Dhi Qar Governorate, southern Iraq, was chosen, and a stratified random sample of 106 human resources workers in the Dhi Qar Municipality Directorate was selected. Also, the researchers adopted the qualitative and quantitative approach in the current study, where they worked to describe the variables of the study theoretically and practically. The study reached a set of conclusions, the most important of which is: Strategic thinking is not easy without talented individuals doing it, and organizations can enroll their individuals in training courses in order to develop intellectual skills. Strategic thinking contributes to making rational decisions by revealing gaps that may hinder the work of organizations. Human resources management is the backbone of any organization in terms of its functions, such as training courses, occupational safety, material and moral incentives, recruitment and selection. The human resources management is concerned with the dimensions of organizational loyalty in order to develop relationships between individuals working within the organization. Individuals working in the Directorate of Municipalities of He are free from unfairness, whether in dealings or in material and moral incentives. The outstanding performance has an essential role in helping organizations build their strategic and administrative structure. At the end of this work, the researchers worked to present a number of proposals, the most important of which are: The directorate’s departments should benefit from strategic thinking to develop innovative methods and address problems. This concerns the environment and stakeholders and is followed according to a systematic approach and the use of supporting tactics of strategic thinking and its dimensions in a way that enhances the competitive primacy in the banking sector. The human resources management in the directorate relies on the applied measures of efficiency and effectiveness and follow-up of the achievements achieved from organizational change. The researchers recommend the necessity of benefiting from the results of the current study because it brings together three important and different fields, which enables it to understand and improve the reality of the public sector, as well as control the forefront of its services compared to other departments.
