A Model of Organizational Agility Improvement Based on Human Resources Flexibility in Banking Industry

The agility paradigm has been proposed to improve the ability to succeed in dynamic and unpredictable environments at modern organizations. Out of various prerequisites to organizational agility improvement, this study analyzed the effect of human resources flexibility.

This is an applied descriptive field study, in which a questionnaire was used as the data collection tool. The statistical population included the employees working at Bank Mellat, Bank Tejarat, Bank Saderat, and Bank Maskan in Tabriz. The random sampling method was employed to select 262 employees as the statistical sample, and the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique was used for data analysis in AMOS.

Task, competence, and behavior flexibility components had the greatest roles in explaining organizational agility. These components were also strongly correlated with each other.

Having a strategic attitude towards human resources flexibility, organizations improve their intellectual and subjective abilities to accomplish their missions in today’s competitive environment and meet the prerequisites to organizational agility.
