Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the relationships between organizational agility (OA), sustainable quality perception (SQP) and innovation orientation (IO) and to test whether innovation orientation has a mediator role between the other two variables. Especially with the covid-19 epidemic, it is thought that businesses should be agile and attach importance to sustainable quality in order to adapt to changing conditions, while unforeseen change and transformation processes are experienced today. It can be stated that there is a necessity to always follow the innovations and apply them on time in order to maintain the quality. The research was conducted with a sample of 438 whitecollar employees from different sectors in Türkiye. According to the findings obtained;a statistically significant positive correlation was found between OA and SQP, OA and IO, and IO and SQP. In addition, according to the mediation test, it was determined that innovation orientation had a partial and strong mediating role between OA and SQP.
期刊介绍:
The Journal will serve and provide a forum for exchange of ideas among business executives and academicians concerned with global business and economic issues. With the rapid evolution of corporate business from international to global in recent years, general business has been one of the areas of greatest added complexity and concern for corporate managers. It is no longer sufficient for the corporate manager to limit his/her study simply to the domestic aspects of general business. Almost every single topic that can be studied in general business now has global dimensions that are equally important. As such, practitioners and academicians, each with a unique perspective on global business, must go beyond the presently limited sharing of information and ideas. The Journal will be an academic journal combining academic inquiry and informed business practices. It will publish empirical, analytical, review, and survey articles, as well as case studies related to all areas of global business and economics. A sentiment often expressed by practitioners is that academic research in general may not be addressing the most relevant questions in the real world. To bridge some gaps in our knowledge of the real world, the Journal is thereby willing to sponsor a field research (such as surveys, in-depth interviews, on-site studies, etc.). It is fair to say that the Journal will publish high-quality applied-research papers. Nevertheless, studies that test important theoretical works and shed additional light on the issue with some business implications will also be solicited.
