Examining Relationships Between Agile Workplace Practices, Productivity, and Agility in Organizations

A growing interest in agile work practices (AWPs) has emerged in recent years, emphasizing flexibility, collaboration, and iterative approaches to work. Continuously changing work environments demand that organizations are flexible, adaptable, and can act quickly. Additionally, a highly competent, innovative, and responsible organization can function well as a team (Kamath, 2020). Thus, this research study examines the relationship between AWPs, organization productivity, and agility. The study's findings, which contribute to the literature by addressing the disconnect in research between AWPs' relationship with organization productivity and agility, have practical implications for the academic and research community. This study uses a quantitative, non-experimental correlation research design to examine the relationships between AWPs, organizational productivity, and agility. The study population comprised employees representing the Louisiana Community and Technical College System (LCTCS). Participants' survey results examined the relationship between AWPs, organization productivity, and agility. A frequency distribution was used for the demographics in addition to descriptive statistics; a correlational analysis of Pearson’s r-test was used to examine and compare relationships. Applying a non-experimental correlation research design, this study supports existing research, addresses disconnects and identifies organizational AWPs' relationship with productivity and agility based on the study's statistical results.
