Purpose- Organizational agility is a critical dynamic capability necessary for organizations that compete in today’s rapidly changing business
conditions. In the literature, there are multiple perspectives to draw the borders for an organization’s ability to be agile. Although
Organizational Agility is a well-established concept in studies executed in U.S. and Europe, researches performed in Turkey still lack focus on
agility dramatically. In order to fill this gap, this study is intended to adapt and validate the measurement scale of Lee, Sambamurthy, Lim
and Wei (2015) to be used for companies operating in Turkey.
Methodology- Lee et al. (2015) formed a 12-item scale to measure the components of organizational agility which are “proactiveness”,
“radicalness”, “responsiveness” and “adaptiveness”. Items to measure these components are translated into Turkish and reviewed for clarity,
comprehensibility and risk of ambiguity by the linguistic professionals and academicians in the field. Finally, the scale is tested on a sample
of 320 employees in managerial positions of companies that are operating in Turkey.
Findings- 12-item scale is tested through exploratory factor analysis to check for any differences in the items’ distribution between the
components of the construct. Four factors are formed parallel to the original scale representing proactiveness, radicalness, responsiveness
and adaptiveness. As a consequence of very close factor loadings under two different components, one item from the adaptiveness factor is
removed. The reliability values of all factors were above the necessary thresholds in the literature. In order to confirm the results of the EFA,
AMOS is used for the confirmatory factor analysis and the results showed a very high model fit. Subsequently, discriminant validity and
convergent validity tests are executed showing satisfactory output with no errors.
Conclusion- The results show that the scale of Lee et al. (2015) can be used to measure the organizational agility of companies in Turkey. For
their future studies, researchers can execute these scales on managerial level employees (since organization-wide information is required)
to assess the levels of four dimensions of organizational agility.
