ORGANIZATIONAL AGILITY IN TURKEY: THE REMOTE WORK IN DURING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

Abstract

The struggle of businesses with emerging problems has been discussed several times in the literature; however, policies to continue production against epidemic diseases that can be among natural disasters have not been discussed much throughout the world until 2020. The coronavirus pandemic, which emerged all over the world in 2020, largely prevented the businesses from running. However, some enterprises have continued to run partially or fully remote under the pandemic process measures. Within the scope of business management, the global coronavirus (COVID - 19) epidemic has created a vision for businesses to act quickly against the crisis and adapt themselves to the situation in case of extraordinary conditions. In this study, besides the importance of organizational agility in enterprises, how much the businesses in Turkey are ready for the global coronavirus (COVID - 19) and how fast they start remote work will be discussed. At the same time, factors preventing remote work in organizations will be examined.
