Thus, the purpose of the current research is to identify the role of leadership behaviors including challenging the process, inspiring a shared vision, and enabling others to act over performance continuity in UAE public sector organizations. Furthermore, the study also examined the moderating role of technology business analytics over the relationship between challenging the process, inspiring a shared vision, enabling others to act, and performance continuity in UAE public sector organizations. For the said purpose primary research has been conducted and the data has been collected from adopted instruments. The findings of the study revealed that challenging the process, inspiring a shared vision, and enabling others to act has a significant impact over performance continuity. Likewise the moderating role of technology business analytics over the relationship between challenging the process, inspiring a shared vision, enabling others to act, and performance continuity has also been found significant. The study enriched social exchange theory with the help of system theory to support the moderating role of technology business analytics.

Interplay between Digital Marketing, Business Analytics and Innovation Capability: A Case of Greece SMEs

“…The Resource-Based View theory (RBT), which emphasises the importance of a company's owned and managed resources, is widely acknowledged as a major framework for comprehending 􀅫irm performance (Almheiri et al, 2022). This idea holds that organisations can become more effective by obtaining organisational resources, both material and immaterial, that have attributes like being rare, valuable, unique, and non-replaceable (Dastane, 2020).…”

“…Path dependence and 􀅫irm heterogeneity are the two main pillars of the RBV (Chatterjee et al, 2024;Chetioui, Benlafqih, & Lebdaoui, 2020).

This is signi􀅫icant in the context of market performance since it is a novel technology that could affect the innovation capacities of businesses needed to respond to obstacles in the marketplace and improve performance.…”

Leadership, Crisis Management, and Business Continuity

“…Business continuity is actually the main issue that prevents the onset of disasters as opposed to normal operations (Adegboye, Ojeka, Alabi, Alo, & Aina, 2020). When addressing the issue of service delivery in nations, the phrase "business continuity" is used in the most restricted sense possible (Alharthi & Khalifa, 2019;Rasheed et al, 2021;Nasir & Rao, 2020;Almheiri, Romle & Omar, 2022).…”
