Abstract

Purpose

This study examines the impact of organisational agility on the performance of higher education institutions. It also aims to explore the mediating role of various capabilities, namely, service innovation, technology capability, learning capability, and collaborative knowledge creation, in the agility-performance relationship.

Design/methodology/approach

The sample of this study includes teaching staff of two prominent state universities of J&K, India. The study employs Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Structured Equation Modelling (SEM) for scale purification and hypotheses testing.

Findings

The results show that organisational agility positively influences performance of higher education institutions. Capabilities, namely, service innovation, technology capability, learning capability and collaborative knowledge creation, partially mediate the organisational agility-performance relationship.

Research limitations/implications

The sample comprises teaching staff of two established universities of J&K, India.

Practical implications

For sustenance in the turbulent environment, higher educational institutions should employ practices like regular modification of academic programs, increasing the speed of logistics activities, investing in high-ended software and hardware facilities, and developing an open environment for the exchange of ideas by employees. Policy formulation should encourage adopting agile practices in higher education institutions for enhanced performance.

Originality/value

This paper focuses specifically on organisational agility and its impact on the performance of higher educational institutions. The study contributes to the agility literature by testing the mediating roles of service innovation, technology capability, learning capability and collaborative knowledge creation collectively in the relationship between organisational agility and performance, concluding that all these capabilities except service innovation enhance the effect of organisational agility on performance.

能力在印度查谟和克什米尔地区组织敏捷性与绩效关系中的中介作用
目的本研究探讨了组织敏捷性对高等教育机构绩效的影响。本研究的样本包括印度 J&K 两所著名国立大学的教职员工。研究采用探索性因素分析法(EFA)和结构方程模型法(SEM)进行量表纯化和假设检验。为了在动荡的环境中生存,高等院校应采取定期修改教学计划、提高后勤活动速度、投资高端软硬件设施、营造开放的员工思想交流环境等措施。政策制定应鼓励高等教育机构采用敏捷实践,以提高绩效。 原创性/价值 本文特别关注组织敏捷性及其对高等教育机构绩效的影响。研究通过检验服务创新、技术能力、学习能力和协作知识创造在组织敏捷性与绩效关系中的中介作用,得出了除服务创新之外的所有能力都能增强组织敏捷性对绩效的影响的结论,从而为敏捷性文献做出了贡献。
