Diagnosis of the application of renewable energy sources in agile organizations – analysis of own research
Purpose: The aim of the article is to present a balance of benefits and risks related to the use of renewable energy sources in agile organizations and to identify dominant social attitudes towards such solutions. The analysis is set in the context of the growing importance of sustainable development and energy transformation. Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative method was used, based on a survey conducted among 820 respondents in January–February 2025. The data was subjected to multivariate correspondence analysis (MCA), which allowed for visualization of relationships between responses and extraction of patterns of assessments. Findings: Respondents mostly positively assess the impact of renewable energy sources on the environment, climate, job market and energy independence, while expressing moderate concerns about costs and uncertainty about potential side effects. MCA analysis revealed a convergence of positive attitudes and a dispersion of critical assessments. Research limitations/implications: The study was cross-sectional and relied on declarative opinions of respondents, which limits the ability to capture changes in attitudes over time. The industry and geographic specificity of the organizations surveyed was also not taken into account. Practical implications: The study was cross-sectional and based on respondents' declarative opinions, which limits the ability to capture changes in attitudes over time. The industry and geographical specificity of the organizations studied was also not taken into account. Social implications: The article highlights the importance of social acceptance for the development of renewable energy sources and the need to support energy transformation through dialogue, education and transparency. Originality/value: The study brings new value by combining the perspective of organizational agility with the issue of renewable energy sources, pointing out their potential synergy and impact on the sustainable development strategy. Keywords: agile organizations, renewable energy sources, sustainable development. Category of the paper: research paper.
