Table 1.

Exclusionary behaviours exhibited by expatriate co-workers

Theoretical dimension	Examples
Assignment of menial duties	Being assigned very basic duties, such as photocopying, despite holding high qualifications and a relevant job title
Negative stereotyping	An abundance of strongly negative stereotypes about Emiratis, including hostile comments such as: “what the hell are they doing here?” and “why don’t they hang out in the coffee shop where they belong!”
Expressions of jealousy and unjustifiable privilege	Perception of acute jealousy of expatriate co-workers, often expressed through the belief that Emiratis enjoy so many financial benefits that they do not need to work: frequent remarks such as “they don’t need the money; their government takes care of them”
