The study aimed to identify the educational administrative needs in light of the principles of organizational ingenuity among academic leaders in Jordanian universities, (142) academic leaderships were chosen by simple random sampling. After collecting the data and statistically processing, it was found that there is a high degree of needs in the two fields of study: the need for optimal investment of opportunities, the need to explore new opportunities. Also, there are no statistically significant differences in the educational administrative needs in the light of the principles of organizational ingenuity among academic leaders in Jordanian universities due to the variables (Gender, Experience, Academic rank and Job position). A number of recommendations were proposed, including observing the principles of organizational ingenuity during training academic leaders in Jordanian universities on administrative tasks.
