Cultural dimensions' impact on performance management in the UAE market

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Culture contributes immensely to the performance of different organizations, particularly in the case of international of corporations and multinational organizations that employ expatriates (expats) and nationals. The current paper discusses the impacts of various cultural dimensions on UAE-based organizations’ performance. It develops its arguments through the deployment of literature review. The analysis section uses information that is developed in the literature review section. Consequently, the recommendations and conclusions are based on the findings from the literature review. Upon reviewing the literature, the paper argues that the UAE’s performance management is influenced by high power distance in the nation, low individualism, average masculinity, and high avoidance of insecurity risks. Besides, legal requirements such as Emiritization policies limit the extent to which organizations can choose human resources to employ to deliver optimal performance.
