The burgeoning interest in sustainable company success models has experienced significant growth in recent years. Despite certain advancements in identifying this idea and promoting sustainable practices, there needs to be more understanding of the optimal organizational architecture for developing new business models or implementing sustainability-oriented adjustments in current ones. This article aims to comprehensively analyze sustainable business models, specifically focusing on the power of green. Additionally, this article provides a research agenda for future studies that might contribute to advancing knowledge in this field. A group of empirical research papers published in reputable Scopus and WoS indexed Journals from 2018 to 2023 were chosen for this study. The selection process involved a systematic approach to categorizing and synthesizing the findings about the subject matter. Upon thoroughly examining the articles, it has been determined that sustainable success may be attained by focusing on three primary variables: Human resource management, supply chains, and innovation. This research contributes to the existing body of knowledge in green business. This study offers a framework for researchers to investigate emergent domains to attain sustainable development. Furthermore, this article presents suggestions and discussions regarding potential avenues for further research. Universities, organizations, and corporate entities can benefit from leveraging these valuable reviews to facilitate research.

“…Discerning employees' psychological factors affected by turbulent environment and consequently predicting Workforce Agility is the theoretical gap we are addressing through this study. From a practical perspective, Storme et al (2020), Salmen andFesting (2021), andAthemneh andJais (2023) have also suggested formulating evidencebased training to boost employees' agility. Thus for firms and their stakeholders to stay competitive, bringing to light the individual-level predictors and appropriate training methods to build Workforce Agility becomes vital.…”

“…However, the need for research-based training and development practices tailored to boost employees' agile capacities has been advocated by Storme et al. (2020), Tessarini and Saltorato (2021), and Athemneh and Jais (2023). This section helps to understand the role of arts in aiding this process.…”

“…In organizations, assessment of IABI's impact can be complex, as changes are encountered in multiple forms and at multiple times. Tessarini and Saltorato (2021) and Athemneh and Jais (2023) advocate the need for qualitative methods to study Workforce Agility in addition to the quantitative approach, as the subjective experiences of agile behaviors have been overlooked. Collecting a phenomenological account of employees' experience with intermodal arts can unveil how the learned metaphors were unleashed to foster agility (Kupers, 2013).…”

“…Resilient behavior includes a positive attitude toward new changes, ideas, and technology; tolerance toward uncertain and unexpected stressful situations, opinions, or approaches; and coping with stress. A recent systematic review on Workforce Agility by Athemneh and Jais (2023) shows that most studies on employees' agility have adopted this model, explaining agility by employees' observable behaviors. Other existing models of Workforce Agility are built on organizational, systemic, or conative factors.…”

PurposeThe world of work is constantly evolving such that the Workforce in the previous era was driven by the need for stability and is now driven by the desire for creative disruption. While firms must respond to the challenges and dynamics continuously, employees must be ready for any upcoming change to progress despite the turbulence and attain a competitive position. This paper's focal theme is Workforce agility – the ability of employees to respond to and make the most out of changes. Studies on the personal factors affected by changes, in turn, influencing Workforce agility have been scarce. The authors propose a conceptual model with propositions to address this gap. Additionally, the authors propose an employee-centric experiential training practice to foster agility.Design/methodology/approachThe authors have employed conceptual description methodology to build propositions about the personal factors influencing Workforce agility and an arts-based intervention to enhance it.FindingsIntermodal arts-based intervention (IABI) can influence employees' epistemic curiosity, which aids with managing ruminative thoughts, thus enhancing Workforce agility, while dispositional joy moderates this relationship.Practical implicationsThe proposed “Intermodal Arts-Based Intervention (IABI)” can help firms move from a traditional training-based approach to an experiential one to foster their Workforce's agile capacities. Considerations for its implementation are explained.Originality/valueThis study is one of the first attempts to integrate multiple art forms as a change management practice. The conceptualized model also brings out the adaptive and maladaptive aspects of epistemic curiosity and rumination and the role of joy in promoting agile behaviors.
