The Impact of Remote Work on Shaping Agility Attributes

Purpose: The aim of the article is to analyze the impact of remote work on key attributes of organizational agility, such as flexibility, the ability to manage multiple projects, physical and mental resilience, and the ability to manage stress. The study aims to understand to what extent remote work supports the development of these characteristics, which are necessary for effective functioning in a dynamic environment. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study was conducted using a survey method on a sample of 740 respondents who assessed the impact of remote work on individual agility attributes. The responses were analyzed in terms of their compliance with the thesis, and the dominant responses were calculated to identify the most common trends. Findings: The results indicate that remote work promotes the development of independence from supervision, flexibility and stress management, while the impact on physical resilience and health proactivity is moderate. Significant correlations were found between flexibility and the ability to multitask, as well as between mental resilience and work-restoration balance. Practical Implications: Understanding the impact of remote work on agility attributes can help organizations adapt their remote team management strategies to more effectively support the development of key employee competencies. Organizations can implement activities that support autonomy, flexibility, and mental health, which are important for maintaining effectiveness in a volatile environment. Originality/Value: The article makes a novel contribution to the literature on organizational agility by analyzing specific aspects of agility in the context of remote work. The study provides a valuable theoretical and practical basis that can support the development of remote strategies in agile organizations and introduce innovative solutions for managing virtual teams.
