20.500.12556/DKUM-93584 The effects of organizational agility on organizational performance the mediating role of ambidexterity Os efeitos da agilidade organizacional no desempenho organizacional Ever-increasing organizational needs for dynamism and progress in performance and product have highlighted the crucial role of innovation in organizations. However, this emphasis on innovation often leads managers to overlook efficiency aspects of organizations or place them at the periphery of attention. The importance of exploitation and exploration varies depending on organizational conditions. This paper aims to investigate organizational ambidexterity as a mediator in the influence of agility on firm performance. Whereas the literature appreciates a good volume of work in the areas of organizational performance and agility, there is still a lack of support for the debate surrounding the two sides of ambidexterity, especially in the area of balancing between exploitation and exploration. This study uses an online survey-based approach to collect data from 276 SME managers in Turkey to test the proposed research model. The collected data have been analyzed by conditional process analysis using the PROCESS macro for SPSS. In the end, the results of the models confirmed that organizational agility has meaningful effects on organizational performance, and both exploitation and exploration had meaningful effects on organizational performance. The mediating role of ambidexterity has also been confirmed in this study. agility exploration exploitation ambidexterity organizational performance agilnost raziskovanje izkoriščanje organizacijska uspešnost true false true Angleški jezik Portugalski jezik Znanstveno delo 2025-07-03 14:05:17 2025-07-03 14:05:18 2025-07-04 03:09:22 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 114-123 št. 2 Letn. 16 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 2025-04-10 2025-06-25 005 241309443 10.23925/2179-3565.2025v16i2p114-123 2179-3565 RAZ_Ardabili_Farzad_Sattari_2025.pdf RAZ_Ardabili_Farzad_Sattari_2025.pdf 1 AD23D81A8E3CCF52549763BC8DC477C0 8656294092a7aa3eb4c5094ba62a9b4d75acc22b91b0e8931ac39d8f062401b2 c59024e4-5806-11f0-95d1-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=193226 https://doi.org/10.23925/2179-3565.2025v16i2p114-123 1 ff6d4d75-5805-11f0-95d1-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=193225 Fakulteta za naravoslovje in matematiko 0 0 0
