THE EFFECT OF PERCEIVED ORGANIZATIONAL AGILITY ON LEADER–MEMBER EXCHANGE: AN APPLICATION AT AZERBAIJAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF ECONOMICS
Öz
The aim of this study is to examine the impact of employees’ perceptions of organizational agility on their perceptions of leader–member exchange among staff at the Azerbaijan State University of Economics, and to investigate whether perceived organizational agility has a positive effect on leader–member exchange. Within the scope of the study, employees’ perception levels of organizational agility and leader–member exchange were also examined, along with whether these levels differed significantly according to employees’ gender, position, age, and length of work experience. First, individual literature reviews were conducted on the concepts of organizational agility and leader–member exchange, and the sub-dimensions of these concepts were explained from various perspectives. The data collection phase of this study was conducted among 228 academic and administrative staff members working at the Baku campus of the Azerbaijan State University of Economics. Data were collected through a survey and analyzed with SPSS 22.0 for Windows and AMOS 23. In this study, participants’ perceptions of organizational agility were assessed using the Organizational Agility Scale developed by Sharifi and Zhang (1999), and their perceptions of leader–member exchange were measured using the Leader–Member Exchange Scale developed by Liden and Maslyn (1998). The results of the study revealed that participants reported high levels of perceived organizational agility and leader–member exchange. The results indicated that employees’ perceived levels of organizational agility differed significantly based on gender, age, and length of experience. However, no statistically significant difference was observed with respect to position. Conversely, employees’ perceived levels of leader–member exchange were found not to differ significantly by gender, position, age, or length of experience. A statistically significant positive relationship was found between organizational agility and leader–member exchange, indicating that organizational agility positively and significantly affects leader–member exchange.
