    Abstract: In the quest to improve performance, attention has been directed at organizational excellence to
remain competitive through creativity and innovation. It must be emphasized that the dire need for excellence
has led to several quality frameworks in various global regions. Health Authority Abu Dhabi (HAAD) is the
focus of this study where an innovative approach is applied to assess the impact of organizational excellence
in terms of principles and practices along with employee performance on organizational productivity. The data
was collected from 256 employees of the Health Authority Abu Dhabi (HAAD) and analyzed using Structural
