This grounded theory study explores how the Human Capability Development Program (HCDP) mitigates organizational identity fragmentation caused by neoliberalism in Saudi universities. Semi-structured interviews with 19 faculty members from diverse disciplines reveal that the HCDP addresses fragmentation through two meso-vision themes: Unified Academic Strategy and Empowerment and Institutional Resilience. These themes, encompassing various micro vision themes and marks, converge to form the macro vision narrative of "Mending the Fragments." The HCDP fosters interdisciplinary collaboration, comprehensive curriculum development, faculty empowerment, and cultural integration, promoting a cohesive, resilient, and purpose-driven academic community. The findings contribute to understanding how targeted interventions can counteract neoliberalism's negative consequences on organizational identity in higher education, offering implications for policymakers, university leaders, and researchers seeking to foster a strong and unified organizational identity amidst neoliberal challenges.
