Abstract
Dynamic changes in business environment due to unforeseen factors such as COVID-19 pandemic may pose a threat to business continuity of an organization and challenge traditional ways of working. Blended working arrangement could be a possible alternative under such situations. This study examines the role of perceived usefulness of digitalization (PUD), workforce agility (WA) and perceived organizational support (POS) in task performance (TPBW) and explains the underlying process. Survey results of 201 managers of Indian public section organizations show that PUD, WA and TPBW are positively related to each other. However, POS neither plays a direct nor a moderating role in their relationships. WA partially mediates the relationship of PUD and TPBW. Theoretical contributions and managerial implications have been discussed.
