ABSTRACT In today’s turbulent business environment, organizational innovation is increasingly shaped by management practices. Within this domain, workforce agility has emerged as a critical yet underexplored dimension of organizational performance. While organizational agility has long been examined from technological or structural viewpoints, scholarly attention to the workforce as the core enabler of agility remains limited. Workforce agility, defined as the HRM-driven capability of employees to respond quickly and efficiently to environmental threats and opportunities, is still conceptually fragmented in literature. This paper addresses this gap by conducting a systematic literature review of published research on workforce agility. Findings reveal that agile employees consistently demonstrate four interconnected qualities—proactivity, adaptability, resilience, and competence—supported by HRM practices such as organizational learning, flexible structures, technology adoption, and team-based work. The review emphasizes the strategic value of workforce agility and highlights its potential to contribute to competitive advantage.
