Being a DBA student will help me to add value to my work place by giving suggestions and ways
for improvement in my research area which is competency model. Investing in competency model
will upgrade the skills of UAE nationals and accordingly meeting the Abu Dhabi Economic vision
2030 for having highly skilled, highly productive workforce. In addition, support the work of the
National Qualification Authority by shedding the light on the factors that make competency model
effective i.e. the competency model goal, the relevance of the content and material to the trainees’
job, the assessment of the trainees’ competencies and the little or no coaching that they receive.
Identifying these factors will help organizations when implementing competency model and then align
the competency model with the Qualification for emirates designed by the authority.
