Abstract: The study relied on analyzing the relationship between several factors that represent technological factors (Technology orientation, Utilizing new knowledge Technology Adoption, Knowledge compatibility, Technological capabilities and Technological collaboration) as independent factors and the level of performance as a dependent factor in medium and small-sized companies in the UAE economy. The inferential approach was followed in the study by analyzing the significance of the sampling results that were reached using structural equations based on the Partial Least Squares method (Pls) using the Smart Plus package, which was used to analyze the path between the six factors as independent factors and the performance factor as a dependent factor. The study applied this methodology to a sample of 250 individuals working in medium and small-sized companies in the UAE economy. The study concluded that the most closely related to performance was Technological Collaboration with an effect size of 72.3%. However, the least related factor was Technology orientation, with an effect factor of 34.4%, while the correlation of the other four factors with performance was medium (between 50% and 63%).
