The human side of organizational agility

Abstract: Organizational agility may be considered the integration of organizational processes, characteristics, and members with advanced technology. Agility enhances the organization’s ability to provide high quality products and services and is, therefore, crucial to organizational competitiveness. Integrates the production/operations, general management, and sociotechnical views to develop a model of organizational agility. Briefly reviews the literature in these fields and offers a model of agility based on suppliers, organizational members, and customers united through information technology. It is proposed that these connections rest on a foundation of leadership, organization culture, and employee reward systems that create a relationship between people and technology. These relationships include involving people in decision making, creating process and product quality by offering enriched jobs, training in technology, and providing a reward system which reinforces agility‐promoting efforts.

Abstract: Concerns regarding corporate ethics have grown steadily throughout the past decade. In order to remain competitive, many organizational leaders are faced with the challenge of creating an ethical environment within their organization. A model is presented showing the process and elements necessary for the institutionalization of organizational ethics. The transformational leadership style lends itself well to the creation of an ethical environment and is suggested as a means to facilitate the institutionalization of corporate ethics. Finally, the benefits of using transformational leadership are demonstrated through the components of a psychological contract, organizational commitment, and ethical culture to institutionalize organizational ethics.
