The organisational performance comprises real results or outputs compared to intended outcomes, depending on various factors. Organisational capacity and organisational culture are among the factors that influence work performance. Each affects differently to work performance of many countries due to different prevailing conditions of the countries. Despite the fact that this issue has been studied in many countries until today, issues on the influence of organisational innovation capabilities and culture on organisational performance are rarely studied in the UAE. Therefore, this study sought to identify the effect of organisational culture on innovation capabilities to improve the organisational performance of the economic development department in the UAE. In order to achieve the objective, this study employed a quantitative approach. A survey was conducted using a structured questionnaire to gather data involving 246 UAE economic development department employees. The instrument was developed based on literature reviews, consisting of three main elements: (1) innovation-related categories: vision and strategy, ivrganizational intelligence, creativity and idea management, management of technology, ivrganizational structure and system; (2) ivrganizational culture, and (3) organisational performance. The data were analysed using Moment Structure Modeling (AMOS-SEM). The findings revealed that organisational innovation capability influences work performance. The mediating effect of organisational culture has a substantial and direct effect on the performance of the UAE's economic development department. The R2 (coefficient of determination) obtained indicated that the effect of the study groups on innovation capability was medium. Thus, the operating performance of the economic development department in the execution by the UAE can be strengthened by taking into account the corporate atmosphere and capacity for growth.
