Abstract
Employees face traumatic experiences as they have to deal with ambiguity, complexity, and an ever-changing business environment due to the COVID-19 outbreak. A suitable leadership approach is required to make strategic decisions and develop employees' agile mind set in the new work setting. Therefore, this study emphasises the strategic role of ambidextrous leadership in building an agile talent, thus enhancing employee engagement. It is also recommended that HRD professionals develop an innovative culture wherein leaders can foster both exploitation and exploration behaviour among subordinates at a high level. Thus, employees become flexible, openly express their ideas, and take risks without fear of undesirable results while applying novel practices leading to high employee engagement.
期刊介绍:
Human Resource Development International promotes all aspects of practice and research that explore issues of individual, group and organisational learning and performance. In adopting this perspective Human Resource Development International is committed to questioning the divide between practice and theory; between the practitioner and the academic; and between traditional and experimental methodological approaches. Human Resource Development International is committed to a wide understanding of ''organisation'' - one that extends through self-managed teams, voluntary work, or family businesses to global enterprises and bureaucracies. Human Resource Development International also commits itself to exploring the development of organisations and the life-long learning of people and their collectivity (organisation), their strategy and their policy, from all parts of the world. In this way Human Resource Development International will become a leading forum for debate and exploration of the interdisciplinary field of human resource development.
