Abstract
The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between the variable of management by wandering, which will be measured through five dimensions (fact discovery, communication, motivation, creativity, and feedback), and the variable of organizational machismo, which will be measured through four dimensions: unethical manipulation, desire for status, desire for control, distrust of others, and knowledge concealment behavior, which will be measured through three dimensions: (evasive concealment, pretending stupidity, rational concealment) for a sample of middle schools in Najaf Governorate. Based on the random sample, (110) questionnaires were distributed to teachers, and the number of unreturned questionnaires was (9), while the returned questionnaires that were valid for statistical analysis were (101) with a representation rate of (91%). They were analyzed through the AMOS v.24 and SPSS VR.26 programs. The results showed statistically significant influence relationships between the research variables (management by wandering, organizational mecha-philia, and knowledge-hiding behavior). The scarcity of studies focused on determining the relationship between the research variables management by wandering, organizational mecha-philia, and knowledge-hiding behavior, and the existence of a real problem that affects the performance of middle schools in Najaf Governorate. This study recommends educating teachers on sharing knowledge, avoiding concealment processes in the schools under study, and encouraging them to learn continuously
