Agile Leadership from the Perspective of Dynamic Capabilities and Creating Value

Abstract

This article aims to contribute to a leadership-based theory of dynamic capabilities and creating value. As a contribution to the economic dimension of sustainability, the mediation role of dynamic capabilities in the effect of agile leadership on creating value has been examined within the framework of the developed hypotheses and the relationships and interactions among agile leadership, dynamic capabilities, and creating value have been revealed. In this context, the data were obtained from 540 participants who work as middle- and upper-level managers in medium-sized and large-sized enterprises in various cities in the northwest of Turkiye, such as Sakarya, Kocaeli, and Istanbul, which are the locomotives of the Turkish economy. Structural Equation Modeling (AMOS) was used to examine the interaction between variables. The findings of this research demonstrate that dynamic capabilities have a full intermediary effect on the impact of agile leadership on creating value.
