The current study sought to uncover the role of conscious leadership in building the organizational identity of the University of Duhok from the point of view of its faculty members, and three dimensions of conscious leadership were adopted, namely: self-awareness, awareness of others, awareness of the position, and three dimensions of organizational identity, which are: central, Excellence, and continuity. In order to reach the desired results of the study, we relied on the literature on the subject that dealt with the variables of the study in building the theoretical and methodological frameworks for it. A questionnaire was designed to collect data from the field side, and the study sample included (452) faculty members at the researched university. While the statistical analysis of the data was carried out using the statistical software (SPSS), a number of statistical indicators were calculated, which formed the basis for presenting and discussing the results of field analysis. The study came out with a set of conclusions, including the existence of positive and statistically significant relationships between conscious leadership and organizational identity, and conscious leadership as an independent variable that has a significant effect on organizational identity. A set of proposals were drawn up that focused on the necessity of attention by the academic leaders of the researched university on the dimensions of the collective organizational identity (centralization, distinction, and continuity).
