Entrepreneurial Work Design for Organization Agility

Abstract

Even though there has been considerable research on the topic of organization agility, these studies are not unified due to their limited views of agility dimensionality. Building upon existing literature of agility, this paper introduces a unified theoretical model of organization agility and investigates the attributes of the entrepreneurial work-design systems, which contribute to the achieving and sustaining of organization agility. We contend that these attributes allowing each participant in the word-design system to stay alert and respond to environing trends and forces. A case study is reported as an illustration of this entrepreneurial work-design model for organization agility.
