Organisational performance from a resource-based view: a study of public service sector in the United Arab Emirates

Abstract

This study contributes to the literature on career decisions on strategic leadership activity and knowledge sharing by introducing a resource-based approach to the forecasting of organisational performance. The study design was accompanied by a quantitative approach using a questionnaire to gather data from the Department of Municipal Affairs employees in the UAE. Around 500 questionnaires were provided and 405 related answers were collected. Structural equation modelling-partial least square was used as a statistical tool to verify the effects of the hypotheses. The following are the findings of this study: 1) strategic leadership practice has a significant impact on knowledge sharing; 2) knowledge sharing mediates significantly between strategic leadership practice and organisational performance; 3) knowledge sharing has a significant impact on organisational performance. This study illustrates the importance of organisational efficiency in municipal affairs as a public service industry, and offers a new understanding to improve its effectiveness. The findings of this study could enable municipal organisations to improve their organisational performance.
