Summary: | Innovation capabilities of employees considered as vital practices in organizations to
improve individual performance. Previous studies have identified and outlined the
potential of organisations to exhibit different transformation in innovation but these
studies were not focused on the innovation capabilities of individuals with respect to
the betterment of their performance. This study first aimed to identify whether
employees’ innovation capabilities in the Interior Ministry would exhibit better
performance in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Secondly, this study also aimed to
identify the theoretical issues related to cultural and technological diversity with
individual innovation capabilities and gave suggestions for improvement of
performance in the Interior Ministry of UAE. This study proposes a conceptual
framework for understanding the relationship between strategic planning, leadership
management, capability development, innovation process and knowledge management
as aspects of innovation capabilities and individual performance. In addition, the study
utilizes technological and cultural diversity as mediating variables in the effect of
innovation capability on individual performance. The conceptual framework is carried
out through an empirical review of literature and development of hypotheses. A well�structured questionnaire is used in this study. The study also validates the proposed
conceptual framework using a quantitative approach through second-order
confirmatory factor analysis technique, namely, structural equations modelling, with
the data collected from 607 respondents from six departments of the Interior Ministry
in the UAE. The findings suggest that innovation capabilities has a significant positive
impact on individual performance. Moreover, technological and cultural diversity have
a partial mediation effect on the relationship between innovation capability and
individual performance. This study contributes to the research that identifies the
influence of innovation capabilities on individual performance; this influence can
affect organisational performance, particularly in the context of departments of the
Interior Ministry in the UAE. |
