Abstract

This paper explores the impact of Previous participation in changes on Adaptability, measured as one of the organizational ambidexterity elements. Data is obtained from a larger study on Organizational capacity for change amongst employees and managers in Bulgarian organizations. The results confirm that engaging employees and managers during planning and implementation of changes is positively related to Аdaptability. A snapshot of how employees and managers assess the two variables one year into COVID-19 is presented. Although the sample has its limitations, these results provide an interesting view on Bulgarian organizations and outline direction for future research on the topic.
