Khassawneh, Anis S. creator text xu| 1996 continuing ng p.707-719. Aiming at investigating and comparing performance orientation of bureaucratic institutions in Jordan and UAE, the author, through this study, finds a medium level of performance orientation without any significant variation in the two countries. Arguing further that the rapid socio-economic, political, and bureaucratic developments taking place in developing countries in general and Jordan and UAE in particular, during the last four decades, have undoubtedly contributed to the rising levels of performance orientation of their bureaucratic institutions, he explicates implications and connotations of these findings. - Reproduced Civil service - United Arab Emirates Civil service - Jordon Civil service Indian Journal of Public Administration 180718
