Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the following: 1. The level of national loyalty among employees at the University of Diyala. 2. Statistically significant differences in the national loyalty scale based on gender (male vs. female). 3. Statistically significant differences in the national loyalty scale based on age groups (25–45) and (45–60). To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher developed a National Loyalty Scale based on Connor’s (2007) theory, adhering to systematic methodological procedures. The face validity of the scale was ensured through expert review by specialists in educational and psychological sciences and in measurement and evaluation. Construct validity was established through correlational analysis of the scale’s items. Reliability was confirmed using the test–retest method, which yielded a coefficient of 0.91, and Cronbach’s alpha, which yielded a coefficient of 0.75. The researcher selected a stratified random sample of 400 male and female employees for the purposes of statistical analysis and to determine the study’s results. The sample was proportionally distributed across the faculties affiliated with the research population. Data were analyzed using several statistical methods, including the one-sample t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and independent samples t-test. The study yielded the following results: 1. University employees exhibit a high level of national loyalty, which stems from their love for their country and willingness to make sacrifices for its sake. 2. There are no statistically significant differences in the national loyalty scale based on gender, indicating that patriotic sentiments do not differ between males and females. 3. There are no statistically significant differences in the national loyalty scale based on age, suggesting that age differences do not influence national loyalty. In light of these findings, the researcher offers several recommendations and suggestions for future research
