Chapter 5 in HRM in the Global South, 2022, pp 103-128 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter focuses on HRM in the UAE. We explicate the salient elements of the UAE’s socio-economic status and the contribution of HRM in the existing economic reforms. This chapter elucidates HRM’s historical development in the UAE and focuses on the structure of the labour market. Several issues comprising Emiratisation, workforce diversity, education, and employment of women were addressed. This chapter delineates HRM policies and practices within the country’s context and analyses significant challenges and future advances in HRM. Furthermore, the chapter evaluates the possible effects of the unique institutional as well as cultural setting of the UAE about HRM practice and the latter’s ramifications on theory and practice. This chapter concludes with several prominent areas where future studies should be focused. Establishing a reliable HRIS for personnel departments and creating a professional HR body will support the growth of HRM in the UAE.
