Abstract

The Jordanian banking sector has been able to achieve remarkable growth rates at various levels. This sector is based on a robust infrastructure and is subject to the supervision of the Central Bank, which guarantees the likes of banks operating to financial reporting standards in order to maintain good financial soundness indicators. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the impact of strategic agility on the financial performance of commercial banks in Jordan. The study population was represented by senior managers. The purposeful sampling method was used to collect primary data from (188) respondents who constituted (81.74%) of the sent questionnaires. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied to test the study's hypotheses. The results showed that strategic agility had a positive impact on financial performance, as the greatest impact was strategic sensitivity, followed by resource fluidity, and finally leadership unity. This study contributed to the development of a logical framework supported by empirical evidence about the possibility of developing financial performance in dynamic environments. Hence, senior managers recommended focusing on making rational decisions derived from studying the reality of the work environment and adjusting organizational structures to become more flexible in response to the volatile business environment.

期刊介绍： Supply chain management (SCM) plays an essential role in managing the movement of raw materials into an organization, certain issues of the internal processing of materials into finished goods, and the movement of finished products out of the organization for end-consumer delivery. The goal of SCM is to improve trust and collaboration among supply chain partners and to improve inventory visibility. However, many SCM problems deal with uncertain events such as uncertainty in demand, supply, quality, price, etc. This forum is dedicated to all scholars who wish to share their ideas about uncertainty in SCM problems. Uncertain supply chain management is a quarterly publication dedicated to all scientists in all over the world who wish to share their experiences and knowledge in this field. Our policy is to perform a peer review on all submitted articles and publishes original and high quality articles.
