The Effects of Future Foresight Competency, AI Technology Competency, Learning Orientation on Innovation Culture and Airport Security Performance

Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of future foresight competency, AI Technology capability and learning orientation and innovation culture on airport security performance.

Design/method/approach – A survey research was employed and data were collected through questionnaire from 212 security personnel from Dubai International Airport. Four hypotheses testing the direct effect of the three independent variables, namely future foresight competency, AI Technology capability and learning orientation on innovation culture and the effect of innovation culture on airport security performance. Normality test were conducted to test the validity of the data. Covariance Structural Equation Modelling (CO-SEM) was used to validate the measurement model and structural model.

Findings – The study found that future foresight competency and learning orientation have significant positive relationship with innovation culture, while AI technology capability does not have significant positive relationship with innovation culture. Additionally, innovation culture was found to have positive significant relationship with airport security performance. 

Practical Implications - This study would benefit the management of airport security to understand the effect of future foresight competency, AI Technology capability and learning orientation on innovation culture and the effect of innovation culture on airport security performance.

Originality/value – This study contributes to the knowledge on airport security performance by understanding the effect of namely future foresight competency, AI Technology capability and learning orientation on innovation culture and the effect of innovation culture on airport security performance.
