Abstract

The aim of the present research is to investigate the role of organizational agility in the potential to change among employees of adolescent sport office. The methodology is descriptive-correlative. Statistical population is all the employees of Alborz adolescent sport office (N=115); Baring in mind the limited number of the research population, the sample was considered as a total number. The material for gathering the information was Spiders questionnaire(2007), as well as Elwing questionnaire for the potential to change(2009) whose reliability was confirmed by the preceding researches with the validity of(a=0.87)for agility and (a=0.90) for change, applying Cronbach alpha quotient. For data analysis, descriptive statistics was applied (mean, frequency table, etc.), as well as inferential statistics (Kolmogorov, Esmirnov, Pierson correlation, and multiple linear Regression), on a significant level (P<=0.05). The findings and results of the research showed that there is a positive and meaningful relationship between dimensions of organizational agility and the potential to change among employees of adolescent sport office in Alborz province (r=0.764, P,=0.01). Besides, among agility dimensions, human resource index was a stronger criterion for change (Beta0.753, t=9.29). Therefore, according to the given results, successful implementation of the change plan in this office requires the employees' adaptation which may alleviate the procedure. Consequently, this is supposed to be the duty of executives of the office to enable, as well as focus on, human resources in order to be prepared to confront any probable change.
