The impact of organizational agility and human capital on achieving institutional excellence in the Government of Dubai

This study examines the impact of organizational agility on institutional excellence within the Government of Dubai, highlighting the moderating role of human capital. While past research has recognized a positive link between agility and excellence, limited attention has been given to how specific dimensions of organizational agility, namely future vision, innovation, flexibility, partnership and collaboration, and speed contribute to institutional vision and enablers. This research addresses the gap by employing structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze data from 185 executives across various government entities in Dubai. Findings reveal that all dimensions of organizational agility significantly influence institutional excellence, both directly and through the moderating effect of human capital. The results underscore the vital role of human capital in enhancing the effectiveness of organizational agility. These insights provide practical implications for policymakers and public sector leaders seeking to develop strategies that integrate human capital development with agile practices to achieve institutional excellence
