Management planning is one of the most prominent modern tools that enable organizations to achieve efficient performance and sustainable development. This study aimed to analyze the role of administrative planning in improving institutional performance at the Libyan Medical Specialties Council, by determining the level of application of administrative planning practices and their impact on developing organizational performance.
The study adopted the descriptive analytical approach, as data were collected from a sample of (120) employees representing different specializations in the council, using a questionnaire based on the five-point Likert scale. The data was analyzed using SPSS and Excel, through a set of statistical methods: arithmetic averages and standard deviations to determine the general trend, a test (T-Test) to measure gender differences, a single analysis of variance (One-Way ANOVA) to measure differences by educational qualification, and a correlation coefficient (Pearson Correlation) to reveal the relationship between the two study variables.
The results showed that the level of management planning practice in the Council was high (overall average = 3.94), reflecting good management awareness of the importance of planning in improving performance. It was also found that there were no statistically significant differences in the responses of the sample members due to gender or academic qualification, which indicates the homogeneity of the organizational work culture within the council. The results of the correlation analysis showed a strong and statistically significant direct relationship between management planning and institutional performance (r = 0.674, Sig = 0.000), which means that improving the level of planning directly contributes to raising the efficiency of institutional performance with an explanatory percentage of about 45.4% of the variance in performance.
The study concluded that administrative planning is a crucial element in developing institutional performance at the Libyan Medical Specialties Council. It recommended strengthening monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, linking planning results to performance indicators, and activating a feedback system in developing future plans to ensure continuous improvement in the administrative work environment.
