H.E. Abdulla Ali Bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director General of DGHR Department, said, 'The submissions we received are
a testament to the spirit of collaboration and integration between government and academic institutions to empower
the government work system. This has been possible through leveraging scientific research as a strategic tool to
promote innovation and improve performance. At DGHR, we believe the awards serve as a vital platform for
converting knowledge into relevant policies and practices that promote employee well-being and sustain institutional
excellence. We welcome all government entities to utilise this opportunity by submitting scientific research that
supports Dubai's objective of creating a world-leading government based on competence, knowledge and renewal.'

The research papers highlight various key themes linked to improving the government work system, such as the role
of artificial intelligence (AI) in strengthening performance systems for government employees, high-performance work
systems in human resources management, employee relations and their quality of life, modern working patterns,
enhancing employee performance and well-being, institutional culture and their impacts; disguised disciplinary
penalties in the context of AI and the development of HR systems and policies in Dubai.

The department announced that the research papers received are currently undergoing a screening process to
ensure compliance with submission criteria. Furthermore, all submissions will be assessed during August and
September by an academic committee formed by partner universities, including Mohammed Bin Rashid University of
Medicine and Health Sciences, Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government (MBRSG), Hamdan Bin Mohammed
Smart University (HBMSU) and Rochester Institute of Technology – Dubai. The finalists will be declared in the final
phase. The department further stated that the final date for the submission is August 8, 2025.

Meanwhile, DGHR is launching a second awareness workshop in July 2025. The session will update participants with
the latest developments of the awards and new improvements made on the official website, such as a dedicated
page for research submissions titled 'Dubai Government HR Department Research Awards.' The initial awareness
workshop was conducted in May 2025, which witnessed active participation of more than 350 attendees.

DGHR welcomes all Dubai Government entities to continue submitting scientific research under the award's research
areas. The initiative seeks to strengthen the field of scientific research, promote scientific research and create HR
systems and policies in Dubai, in line with government directives to invest in knowledge and embrace best
institutional practices.
