Leadership Cultural Values of United Arab Emirates-The Case of United Arab Emirates University by Ebtesam A. Alteneiji A Thesis submitted to the faculty of University of San Diego In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in Leadership Studies May 2015 Abstract UAE is a young country with a young population that has witnessed tremendous changes over the past decades. There has not been much research about the cultural values of the UAE in generational perspectives, and there have been rapid changes. Therefore, this study aimed at exploring systematic changes in leadership cultural values among the older and the younger generations of the United Arab Emirates. The author utilized Hofstede’s (VSM08) instrument to survey undergraduate students, administrators and faculty at UAE University. The study found no significant differences between the younger and older generations’ tolerance to unequal distribution of power (power distance), fear of the unknown (uncertainty avoidance), quality of life (feminism), tight knit social framework (individualisms) and the exhibition of short-term orientation. Surprisingly, participants in this study scored significantly lower on power distance, masculinity and uncertainty avoidance than those in Hofstede’s original data that was collected 30 years ago. The specific characteristics of the represented sample, and the systematic value change were investigated as a possible explanation of the nation’s indices, and low masculinity in particular. Empirically, wealth and Western influence emerged to be the primary factor for the registered index scores, and the study unveiled generational struggles in a traditional, yet largely Westernized society. Acknowledgments First and foremost, I want to thank Professor Afsaneh Nahavandi, my chair supervisor and mentor for her friendly guidance for the study of cross-cultural communication, and constant encouragement in making this research thesis a reality. I would like also to thank Prof. Zachary Green, my committee reader for his tremendous support and guidance over the past two years at the Department of Leadership Studies at the University of San Diego. Words cannot express how grateful am I to my father, mother and sister Nouf for all of the sacrifices you made on my behalf, and for your dedication to lend a hand in this venture. This thesis would not have come to a successful complete without the kind cooperation of United Arab Emirates University’s Vice Chancellor, Dr. Ali Al Noaimi, UAEU Teaching Assistant Office and College of Humanities and Social Sciences. To you all, I owe you profound appreciation and gratitude! i Table of Contents Acknowledgments ........................................................................................................................... ii List of Tables .................................................................................................................................. ii List of Figures ................................................................................................................................. ii CHAPTER ONE-INTRODUCTION .............................................................................................. 1 Rationale and Structure .................................................................................................................. 1 Hypothesis ...................................................................................................................................... 3 Enriching the Existing Literature ................................................................................................... 4 CHAPTER TWO: LITERATURE REVIEW ................................................................................ 6 Culture and Change ........................................................................................................................ 6 The Phenomenon of mental programming .................................................................................... 7 Characteristics of Culture and Values ............................................................................................ 8 Antecedents of cultural values and change .................................................................................. 10 Cross-Cultural Research .............................................................................................................. 11 Trompenaars and Hampden-Turner (1997) .................................................................................. 12 House et al.’s Project GLOBE (2004) .......................................................................................... 13 Hofstede (1980) ............................................................................................................................ 14 Power distance ............................................................................................................................. 15 Individualism Individualism vs. Collectivism ............................................................................. 18 ii Masculinity vs. Femininity .......................................................................................................... 19 Uncertainty Avoidance ................................................................................................................ 20 Long-Term Orientation ................................................................................................................ 21 Data Validation: Economic, Geographic, and Demographic Indicators ...................................... 21 Current scores for Arab countries and Middle East ..................................................................... 22 Limitation of Hofstede’s (1980) work ......................................................................................... 24 The United Arab Emirates – The Context .................................................................................... 25 Geography .................................................................................................................................... 25 History .......................................................................................................................................... 26 The Economic and Political Context ........................................................................................... 27 UAE State Federal Formation and System .................................................................................. 28 The political system of UAE Government ................................................................................... 30 UAE Population and National Identity ........................................................................................ 32 UAE Economy ............................................................................................................................. 33 Towards Political Liberalization .................................................................................................. 34 The UAE -

  • Athens, Greece
    Boston Latin School Tufts IGL Inquiry 2019 Cities at the Vanguard Toronto Simulation Athens, Greece Briefing Paper Introduction In the contemporary state of the migrant crisis, Athens fully acknowledges this urgent obstacle. As the birthplace of western democracy, our city believes that only through soliciting the perspectives of various parties can we ultimately reach a viable and long lasting solution. Athens embraces this conference as a collaborative effort of various foreign entities to invest in adequate accommodations for all migrants in order to ensure their rights to healthcare, shelter, stability and other essential needs. We hope that foreign entities will be willing to continue in this commitment and increase investments in our city whether through providing monetary aid or supplies. In the recent years, many of our migrants have come predominantly from the Balkan countries, the Middle East, as well as Asia. Although we still face immense challenges to integration these populations into our society, we are optimistic that the situation will improve in the foreseeable future. Demographics ● The ethnic Greeks compose the maJority of the populations in Athens. Other minorities in the demographic include Jews, Romani, and Muslims ● The official religion in Athens, as well as Greece, is the Eastern Orthodox church. Other religion in Athens include Catholicism, Islam, and Judaism. ● Within the City of Athens, there are noticeably segregation in residential areas in accordance with wealth and racial status. Key Points ● Increased humanitarian aid to refugee camps ● Additional emergency funding from EU nations ● Established policies towards migrants who progress to other EU nations ● Enhanced technology for documentation of migrants ● Border policies of neighboring countries Background and History of Athens Athens is an ancient city rich in ancient traditions gathered during the millennials of our existence.

    SUDDEN SUCCESSION Examining the Impact of Abrupt Change in the Middle East SIMON HENDERSON KRISTIAN C. ULRICHSEN EDITORS MbZ and the Future Leadership of the United Arab Emirates IN PRACTICE, Sheikh Muhammad bin Zayed al-Nahyan, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, is already the political leader of the United Arab Emirates, even though the federation’s president, and Abu Dhabi’s leader, is his elder half-brother Sheikh Khalifa. This study examines leadership in the UAE and what might happen if, for whatever reason, Sheikh Muham- mad, widely known as MbZ, does not become either the ruler of Abu Dhabi or president of the UAE.

  • Culturally Endorsed Implicit Leadership Theory
    Literature Review of GLOBE’s CLT: Culturally Endorsed Implicit Leadership Theory Brian T. Moore Regent University This study provides a beginning step in an exhaustive literature review of articles related to the culturally endorsed implicit leadership theory within the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE) project from 2008 to 2018. While there are many articles related to the GLOBE project since its inception in 1991 and beginning research in 1994, this study is limited to scholarly and peer-review journal articles available in the Regent University Summon database that specifically cover or use GLOBE’s culturally endorsed implicit leadership theory. Each article is summarized by author, GLOBE project year, study method, cultural and leadership dimensions associated with the culturally endorsed implicit leadership theory, and article highlight. This literature review includes the following observations: (a) researchers in most articles from 2014 to 2018 used GLOBE 2004 because data was reliable, publicly accessible, and the only data available in specific areas; CLT leadership dimensions are effective tools for measuring cross-cultural leadership effectiveness within countries and clusters or across regions; and unlike some other leadership theories, GLOBE’s cultural and CLT leadership dimensions remained relatively unchanged for more than two decades; (b) that although GLOBE defined nine cultural dimensions and six global CLT leadership dimensions, the 21 primary dimensions and 112 leadership attributes are undefined, which was considered ambiguous; (c) that while GLOBE included 62 societies in its 2004 report, it did not contain specific data for each country, or it consolidated data into broad clusters containing dissimilar countries; and finally, (d) that although GLOBE published a report in 2014, researchers in this small sample of articles continued to use GLOBE 2004 data rather than the newer data in GLOBE 2014.
