N2 - This study examines the dimensions of national identity and cross border business focus for six different nationalities in a Middle Eastern work environment. Data were collected from 213 employees working in educational institutions, medical and oil related organisations in United Arab Emirates. Principal components factor analysis was used to determine the underlying factor structures of national identity and cross border business focus. The results demonstrated that the most significant demographic variables affecting national identity and cross border business focus were: age, level of education, industry and religion and the less significant were: gender, country of origin and nationality. This paper contributes to knowledge on national identity and augments explanation on cross border business focus of both expatriates and nationals. Implications, limitations and directions for future research are discussed.
