technological and knowledge diversity, and the multiplicity of resources and their quality made it necessary for organizations to create practical and adaptable human resources. In line with these changes and developments, modern management concepts have been based on (human capital - orientation towards learning - innovation). Moreover, because they are essential assets and permanent wealth, the current research's idea crystallized to address these contemporary administrative concepts for their significant role in the success and excellence of performance through investing in technology and creating an appropriate environment for innovation (Alzabari et al., 2017). The research idea did not come from a vacuum, but rather it is a start from the administrative philosophy, which considers the human resource to be the essential factor in determining the success of organizations. Therefore, organizations today focused on this critical aspect, as it is the way to support their success. The research has determined the levels of human capital dimensions in the Electrical and Electronic Industries Company in Baghdad and the extent to which it adopts organizational innovation, believing in the importance of these companies in performing their essential role in the Iraqi economy. The company relies mainly on technological capabilities and human energies. The General Company for Electrical and Electronic Industries is one of the most important industrial companies in the Iraqi industrial sector. This company provides and produces various types of goods and services such as (electrical generators, transformers, central, contour and window air conditioners, air cooler motors and pumps, firefighting equipment, box transformers, household water pumps, and other necessary goods and services for the public and private sectors. The public sector represents (80%) of its clients, represented by companies and government ministries, as for (20%) of local consumers, and it contributes to employing approximately (1500) workers and employees, which confirms the importance of the company in the industrial and economic sector. Foreign goods and the suspension of a number of production lines due to technological obsolescence, lack of qualification, lack of primary resources, lack of innovation, and improvements led to a decline in the company's competitive strength (Abbass, 2016: 2) Rawal et. al (2021), Poongodi M et. al(2022), Poongodi M et. al (2021), Dhiman P et.al (2022), Sahoo S.K et.al (2022), K.A et. al(2022) , Dhanraj R.K et. al (2020), Poongodi M et. al (2019), Poongodi M et. al (2020), M.

This is one of the most important reasons for adopting the current research topic and applying it in the researched company being one of the companies in need of applying such research as it bases its performance and activities on human capital,
