Abstract :
Currently, organizations face a dynamic
situation due to the VUCA era (volatility, uncertainty,
complexity and ambiguity). This has resulted in a lot of
research trying to introduce the concept of agility in
responding to environmental changes that are required
quickly in an organization. During the past Covid-19
period it had many very serious impacts on fundamental
elements in people's lives in general, starting from the
economic sector to the overall environment. One of the
key skills for being an effective manager is having agility.
Required agility is a skill that helps manage change and
uncertainty. The role of agility itself cannot be separated
from Workforce Agility because this is considered to be a
character and skill that is felt to have very important
things that must be possessed by employees who work in
an ever-changing environment. This research is research
based on a systematic literature review. The results of a
systematic literature review in this research found many
factors that influence workforce agility, namely drivers,
practices, strategies towards results (workforce agility),
managerial curiosity about the problems faced by
subordinates so that superiors can be active listeners;
tolerance for ambiguity; learn from past problems;
planning each job carried out including suitability of the
type of work with the employee's abilities; readiness to
anticipate problems that may arise during the work
implementation process; courage in taking risks for
progress; trust between members of the organization
and between superiors and subordinates as well as work
quality factors, organizational learning and
psychological empowerment; entrepreneurial leadership
and organizational learning; social capital, proactive e-
business and collaborative knowledge creation;
responsiveness, speed, resilience, learning, adaptability
and collaboration which impact an employee's agility.
