The Obstacles Facing the Implementation of Nationalisation Policies

Placing Emirati nationals in jobs through Emiratisation policy has become a topic that thoroughly deserves attention. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) government has made this policy a priority. However, due to obstacles related to organisational inefficiencies and failures of leadership in public and private sectors, the policy has not been implemented to any significant extent. The purpose of this study was to investigate the current situation of Emiratisation policy, the impact of the policy on skilled and unskilled labour, and the barriers to its implementation. von Hassan, Saeed
