Özet
Today’s dynamism has brought agility into question in business life, and considering the studies on this subject both in the corporate and academic world, it is possible to say that organizations need dynamic capabilities in the face of change. Managing different processes developing under the changing conditions requires different leadership skills. In other words, leaders having the ability to act in accordance with circumstances are needed. Considering that strategic leaders having these characteristics can both benefit from the resources within the organization in the most efficient way (exploitative) and carry out dynamic strategies that include innovative approaches (exploratory) in a balanced way (ambidexterity), the idea that achieving and maintaining organizational ambidexterity as well can be considered as a dynamic skill, shaped our research. Starting from this point of view, in our study, we investigated the effect of strategic leaders and organizational ambidexterity, which we see as a dynamic capability in achieving organizational agility. The research has been conducted on the first 500 Large Enterprises determined every year by the Istanbul Chamber of Industry (ICI) (Turkey) and 500 medium-sized enterprises with different fields of activity, which are selected from the geographical regions in which these companies operate. The data obtained from the research (339 valid questionnaires) were analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) by applying Confirmatory Factor Analysis. While it has been seen that different dimensions of strategic leadership and organizational ambidexterity have a direct positive effect on some dimensions of organizational agility, it has been observed that the dimension of ethical strategic leadership has a direct and reverse effect on organizational agility dimensions. At the same time, it has been determined that organizational ambidexterity has a mediating role in the relationship between strategic leadership and some sub-dimensions of organizational ambidexterity. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
