Based on social entrepreneurial theory (SET), this study examines how social entrepreneurial orientation affects social entrepreneurial performance in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the United Arab Emirates. It also explores how sustainable practices mediate this relationship, as well as how open innovation mediates the link between sustainable practices and social entrepreneurial performance. This study’s uniqueness stems from its comprehensive approach, examining the combined influence of social entrepreneurial orientation, sustainable practices, and open innovation on the performance of social entrepreneurship within SMEs. By integrating these aspects, the research offers a deeper insight into the underlying dynamics. The findings would offer SME guidance to integrate sustainable practices, fostering societal advancement alongside financial growth. Governments can also learn from this research, encouraging an environment that supports social SMEs for a harmonized economic and social development. Overall, this study envisions SMEs as drivers of positive change, growth, and societal upliftment.

Purpose This paper aims to explore the impact of interprofessional healthcare collaboration among nurses on patient healthcare services in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Design/methodology/approach Data were gathered through a randomly distributed questionnaire (N = 248), constructed using established scales or the variables under study. The sample consisted of nurses and patients from various hospitals and clinics across the UAE. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS (Version 28) and Amos (Version 29) software, employing factor analysis, reliability testing and mediation analysis. Findings The study reveals a positive relationship between swift trust (ST) and its dimensions with both team interactive behavior (TIB) and nurse team creativity (TC). TIB was found to significantly mediate the effect of ST on TC. Additionally, based on closed-ended questions, a positive correlation was observed between team task conflict (TTC) and TC. However, no significant impact of TTC on nurse TC was identified through open-ended questions. Originality/value This research presents a unique analysis of the influence of interprofessional collaboration on patient healthcare services in the UAE, offering valuable insights for policy improvement by enhancing nursing conditions. Furthermore, the study contributes to the existing literature by examining the relationship between ST, TIB, TTC and TC.
