Abstract: The primary aim of the research is to examine the effect of operational efficiency and customer satisfaction in case of Islamic banking performance in UAE. Proposed model’s evaluation was done using questionnaire survey data that was obtained from 158 valid responses from Customer Service Officers, Bank Managers, Front Line Officers, and Assistant Manager working in the Islamic banks of UAE. Structural Equation Modelling via PLS3.0 software was used to define the crucial levels of associations and interactions between the tested factors. The proposed model, as evidenced by the goodness of fit of the model to the data, explained 39% of the variance in the Islamic banking performance. The multivariate analysis showed a major impact of operational efficiency on Islamic banking performance as compared to the impact on customer satisfaction. The study results gave insights into the strategies of Islamic banking system.
