Abstract

One of the important research topics and areas that is attracting significant interest and attention globally is ‘big data’. While big data contribute towards the quality of decision-making, it also assists in the development of and extending the knowledge in this area by harnessing available technology. This research presents and discusses the literature related to the quality of big data and its impact on the quality of decision-making. A descriptive methodology approach was also adopted by reviewing the literature of published and unpublished scientific research along with a survey in the form of a questionnaire involving participants from Abu Dhabi Police Agencies to collect their views and opinions in this area. The results from the literature review and survey led to proposing a theoretical, conceptual model according to the quantitative and numerical methodology. The findings of this research have revealed that the quality of big data predicts the quality of decision-making and that the quality of big data in Abu Dhabi Governmental Organisations (ADGO) plays a significant role in the quality of decision-making.
