The Mediating Effect of Technological Innovation on The Relationship Between Privatization of Saudi Airports and Employee Performance Dynamics

Abstract

Privatisation of Saudi airports is focused on improving the functionality of the trade routes and achieving sustainability in the aviation industry. Technological innovation is one of the crucial elements that help in the process of privatisation, as well as employee performance dynamics. Apart from that, technological innovation is also the result of unique business performance in the competitive marketplace. Therefore, this study seeks to explore the mediating effect of technological innovation on the relationship between privatisation of Saudi airports and employee performance. This paper's objective is to use global examples to analyse the effects of this growth and determine its efficacy. It starts by examining various important topics, including the degree of government participation, the choice of administrator or shareholder, the decision between group compared to individual activities, and the applicability of economic legislation. Reviewing the privatisation process, the article identifies significant shifts in the way privatisation is seen today in contrast to in the past with regard to motive, geographical scope, model category, shareholder, and transaction. This paper has examined the mediating impact of technological innovation by collecting data through a close-ended survey questionnaire from 402 employees, who are working in Saudi Arabia airport. Interpreting all of the items through IBM SPSS software, a high reliability value has been identified that refers to a minimal measurement error in this research work. The generated findings have supported this research work to draw a valid and reliable research outcome.
