Abstract
The present study aims to test model of Paradox Acceptance Strategy. This model reflects studying antecedents of paradox acceptance in organizational phenomena based on Paradox Theory which was presented by (Smith & Lewis, 2011) according to model of organizational dynamic equilibrium. Sample of study included selecting group of Iraqi universities involved (103) colleges and (446) individual (dean, assistant and department chiefs). Data was collected by using questionnaire for testing set of hypotheses. These hypotheses aim to test the relationship among individual level variables (Cognitive complexity; Behavioral complexity; Emotional stability) and paradox acceptance in leaders, and also the relationship among organizational level variables (Dynamic capabilities) and paradox acceptance using some of the suitable statistical means like the linear modeling according to leaders. After extraction findings, and number of meaningful conclusions and recommendations were formulated.
