“…Thus, the concept of agility in supply chain operations is considered fundamental to transforming essential business operations by helping organisations become more responsive to change (Oliveira-Dias et al, 2022). This emphasis on agility implies opportunities for greater performance stability (Clampit et al, 2022;Tessarini and Saltorato, 2021). Indeed, the concept of agility has been combined effectively with flexibility to establish optimal working conditions (Fernandez-Giordano et al, 2022;Shukor et al, 2021).…”

Studies have acknowledged that practices such as training and development, communication, sharing information, teamwork, participative decision-making, rewards and employee empowerment can promote workforce agility across manufacturing and service sectors (Montes et al, 2005;Sumukadas and Sawhney, 2004;Sherehiy and Karwowski, 2014;Ndungu, 2017;Almahamid, 2018;Tessarini Junior and Saltorato, 2021;Athamneh and Jais, 2021).…”

“…Örgütler açısından çeviklik kavramı, çevrede yaşanan değişimler karşısında fırsatları yakalama, öngörülebilen ya da öngörülemeyen çeşitli tehditlere karşı hazırlıklı, dayanıklı ve hızlı olma; tüm bunlar yanında durumdan fayda sağlayabilme yeteneğini ifade etmektedir (Tessarini ve Saltorato, 2021). Çalışanlar açısından ise çeviklik, yaşanan değişikliklere hızlı ve doğru şekilde yanıt verme, öngörülü ve proaktif olma ve fırsatlardan yararlanma yeteneği olarak özetlenmektedir (Alavi vd., 2014).…”

“…Dinamik ve belirsiz piyasa koşullarında hareket eden örgütlerin yapısal çeviklik için uyarlanabilir bir işgücüne ihtiyacı olduğu ifade edilmektedir (Dyer ve Shafer, 2003). Uyumluluk boyutu, işgücünün; çalışma koşullarında, görevlerinde veya kendilerinden talep edilen faaliyetlerde meydana gelen değişiklikleri kabul ederek bunlara uygun tutum ve davranışları sergileyebilme becerisidir (Tessarini ve Saltorato, 2021). Kısaca uyumluluk, tutum ve davranışları değişen çevre koşullarına adapte olacak biçimde değiştirebilmekle ilgilidir (Cai vd., 2018).…”
