This study aimed to identify the impact of strategic orientations on achieving competitive advantage at Safwa Islamic Bank. The study consisted of senior and middle managers in the bank's main administration, representing decision-makers. A total of 137 questionnaires were distributed, and 121 were retrieved and subjected to statistical analysis. The researcher employed a descriptive-analytical methodology, with the questionnaire as the primary data collection tool. The data were analyzed using various statistical methods via the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The study concluded that strategic orientations, with their dimensions (market orientation, entrepreneurial orientation, technological orientation, and learning orientation), have a statistically significant impact on achieving competitive advantage, with its dimensions (cost efficiency, quality, flexibility, and service delivery speed) at Safwa Islamic Bank. However, the entrepreneurial orientation dimension showed no significant effect. The study recommended that Safwa Islamic Bank's management give greater focus and attention to strategic orientations and leverage them comprehensively to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of its activities and operations, thereby achieving competitive advantages. Furthermore, it emphasized increasing the bank's attention to market orientation due to its role in identifying customer needs and requirements for services and products, understanding the external work environment, and recognizing the nature of competitors and their offerings. This, in turn, enhances the bank's ability to adopt appropriate measures to achieve its competitive advantage.Downloads
