Patterns include not only observable actions in the world but also the thinking processes and the organization of people’s states-of-mind as well as their emotions and how well all senses are used to reach a point of attention or concentration. Since its focus is on cresting models of human’s excellence, many applications of NLP have been developed. Moreover, NLP diffusion across the globe has been highly documented where leaders and consultants in businesses have turned to the creative and innovative aspects of NLP for inspiration in organizational development, total quality management, team building and strategic planning. However, although there is a strong body of knowledge documenting NLP across the western hemisphere, much less known about the Arab world in this respect. The aim of this paper is twofold: to assess NLP patterns and behaviors as practiced by a sample of UAE employees and managed in order to shed light on current practices in the UAE workplace and to assess the impact of NLP on respondent’s behavior and its consequences on the organizations’ objectives. Accordingly, a quantitative analysis is applied using a survey questionnaire. Employees and managers from different areas and work environments constitute the sample population. Outcomes of the research are expected to define the workplace environment by defining the dynamics of UAE employees and managers that are believed to play a significant rolein contributingtotheassessment oftheorganization’s health. Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is concerned with how top people in different fields obtain outstanding results, and how their successful thinking patterns and behavior can be copied. It is concerned with what happening when people think, and the effect of their thinking on their behavior, andthe behavior of others. NLP teaches how tocommunicate, inwardly and outwardly, in a way that can make a difference between mediocrity and excellence, between just existing and really living. NLP is both an art and a science of personal excellence. It is an art, because the way that one thinks and acts is unique to each person, and any description - especially offeelings, https://ijmri.de/index.php/jmsi volume 4,issue2,2025 105 attitudes and beliefs - is bound to be highly subjective. It is also a science because it incorporates well researched methods that can beusedto identify the patterns ofsuccessful behavior. Being an energizing science, NLP is now applied in different areas in the world, namely the major three continents: Britain, America and Australia. NLP was looked at to be one way to treat people with disorders, phobias or other mental problems, but eventually it developed tobe a science that is applied in different areas, starting with someone’s personal life and reaching the corporate life of any organization. Based on that, and considering the progressive UAE business market, this research will provide a general overview of the NLP concept and practices, while shedding light on the current status of NLP awareness in the UAE area, taking Dubai as the main area of research as it mainly includes the largest number of internationally known companies and corporations,in addition to theworkforce formed of foreigners from different continents. Neuro-linguistic programming is believed to be an influential tool that affects the personal and educational life of the learners. It has the potential to improve the quality, develop positive attitudes, provide support to resolve the psychological complications, help to make better decisions, establish effective communication, and foster language learning. As it is emphasized by Garca Tamayo, language learners can use NLP as a psychotherapeutic technique to improve their performance and taka a step towards achievement. One of the main implications ofneuro-linguisticprogramming isitsassistance inthefield ofEnglishlanguage learning. Moharamkhani, Karimi and Ahmadi have investigated the effect of neuro-linguistic programming on vocabulary by learning and after 12 sessions of treatment by swish pattern which is one of the NLP strategies, they have concluded that it has a significant effect of English language learners with different learning styles, consequently, it can bea good choice forEnglish classes.
