The Impact of Facilitating Conditions on Innovation Readiness in the Dubai Public Sector

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the level of innovation readiness in Dubai’s public sector by taking a critical look at the current facilitating conditions, analyzing the gaps that arise with the lack of various innovations in place, and offering recommendations to remedy the problem. This study uses secondary sources of information by selecting peer-reviewed journal articles. Given that multiple sources had to be used, the study needed to be cross-sectional. The search process for the articles included the use of relevant terms such as "innovation readiness," "facilitating conditions," as well as "Dubai Public Sector." The researcher filtered the results from the potential articles that surfaced and, after filtering, ended up with 15 peer-reviewed journal articles that were now used for the study. The research framework for this study was divided into two sections: the theoretical framework and the conceptual framework. The theoretical framework gave an in-depth overview of facilitating conditions, innovation readiness in the Dubai public sector, and major theories and concepts affecting these two fields. The conceptual framework proposes technological acceptances to cohabitate quality innovation readiness in the Dubai public sector. The intention to use innovation readiness is positively impacted by facilitating situations, but the effect is marginal after the initial usage. As a result, the Model suggests that conducive environments have an immediate, considerable impact on user behavior.
