Research Relevance and Potential Impact
This study addresses a very important subject and makes a significant contribution to the literature
in the field. The role of leadership in the human capital development of followers deserves significant
attention from researchers but the available literature on the topic is very scant, especially in developing
economy contexts. This paper offers a new theoretical perspective on the role of leadership in human
capital development of workers and provides an empirical support for the proposed model. This topic
is also extremely important in the UAE context since the development of human capital is considered
the key factor in supporting the Emiratization of the workforce policy which is a major concern for
policy makers in the UAE recently. The development and empowerment of the local workforce to take
a major role in building and sustaining the knowledge economy is the key element of the economic
and social development plans of the UAE currently.
