Abstract

Employee performance is crucial to the success of organizations, particularly in the entrepreneurial sector. Various factors, such as abusive supervision, job stress, turnover intention, and agile leadership, play a significant role in determining performance outcomes. This study aims to evaluate how perceived organizational support moderates the effects of these factors on employee performance in public firms in the UAE. Data were gathered from a valid sample of 211 respondents. The analysis employed measurement and structural model assessments using Smart PLS version 4.0. The results validated the internal consistency reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity of the latent constructs. Structural equation modeling indicated significant effects of agile leadership, abusive supervision, and job stress on employee performance. Furthermore, perceived organizational support was found to significantly moderate the relationships between agile leadership and employee performance, abusive supervision and employee performance, and job stress and employee performance. Based on these findings, several policy recommendations were made for public sector firms in the UAE, particularly highlighting the importance of supportive leadership practices in enhancing employee performance within the entrepreneurial sector.

Abstract

Considering the organizational success, employees performance has been accepted as among the fundamental role players. However, several organizational factors like abusive supervision, job stress, turnover intention, and agile leadership have been accepted as among the most critical determinants of such performance outcomes. The objective of this study is to assess the moderating effect of perceived organizational support on the relationships among abusive supervision, job stress, turnover intention, and agile leadership on employee performance in public firms in the UAE. A valid sample of 211 respondents from the public sector firms in UAE has been collected. The present study applies the measurement model and structural model assessment using the Smart PLS version 4. The findings confirm the presence of the internal consistency reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity of the latent constructs when examined through their relative items. Moreover, the structural equation modelling reveals that there is a significant impact of agile leadership, abusive supervision, and job stress on the employee performance among the public firms of UAE. Additionally, the findings state that there is a significant moderating effect of perceived organizational support on the relationship between agile leadership and employee performance, between abusive supervision and employee performance, and between job stress and employee performance, respectively. Based upon the given findings, several policy implications have also been suggested for the policymakers specifically at the public firms in UAE.

Abstract

The increasing integration of data science and learning analytics in learning factory environments has created new opportunities to enhance training effectiveness and align educational processes with real industrial needs, yet understanding how decision making practices are enacted in these contexts remains limited. This study aims to explore how stakeholders interpret and utilize data to support instructional, operational, and strategic decisions that influence skill development and adaptive training in learning factories. A qualitative research design was employed through multiple case studies involving semi structured interviews, direct observations, and analysis of institutional documents to capture in depth insights into practices, challenges, and contextual dynamics surrounding data driven decision making. The findings indicate that successful implementation is shaped by factors such as organizational culture, data literacy levels, leadership support, and the availability of integrated information systems, while common challenges include fragmented data sources, limited analytical competencies, and resistance to data informed change; participants reported that collaborative reflection and continuous feedback loops significantly improved training relevance and learner engagement. The study concludes that strengthening governance structures, investing in capacity building, and promoting a culture that values evidence based decision making can enhance both learning outcomes and operational performance in learning factory settings, providing meaningful implications for educators, industry partners, and policymakers seeking to advance sustainable and technology enhanced workforce development.
