الملخص

The advancements in the field of human resource management, particularly in industrialized nations, have been extensively recorded in recent years. However, it has only just started to claim its presence in the Middle East.  Due to the lack of sufficient study related to the transfer of best practices among Arab business organizations in the Middle East, the gaps in Human Resources (HR) practices related to employee motivation are filled by this research. This study aims to investigate the transfer of best practices for employee motivation from a business in Lebanon to its Iraqi counterpart. Despite the close commercial ties between Lebanon and Iraq, there is a lack of research to comprehend if employee motivating techniques in businesses operating in both countries need to be modified. Using a qualitative and case study approach, the study examines how culture affects this transfer. Data are gathered through eight interviews with members of the top management as well as Human Resources managers and Human Resources employees from (Lebanon and Iraq) and then analyzed using ATLAS. ti 23 software.  The study results show that despite the geographical proximity of the two nations, the firm must alter or adapt its Human Resources practices to motivate its employees. This is because cultural issues were the primary barriers to the transfer of Human Resources practices. The two countries are more diverse than we realize, even though they are not that far apart.
