Abstract:

Purpose: The aim of the article is to analyze the role of social activities in agile organizations and their impact on flexibility, innovation and long-term development. The study aims to understand what social activities are most often undertaken by agile organizations and what benefits they bring to the organization and its stakeholders. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research used a survey method addressed to representatives of agile organizations in order to collect data on the social activities undertaken. A detailed data analysis was carried out, including calculation of the average and median number of activities in each category, which allowed the identification of dominant trends and typical practices. Findings: The survey results indicate that agile organizations particularly focus on pro-ecological and health-related activities, which are key elements of their social strategy. These initiatives not only strengthen the organization's image, but also contribute to sustainable development and improved well-being of employees and local communities. Practical Implications: The study results can be the basis for formulating recommendations for agile organizations in developing and implementing effective social strategies. Enterprises can use these conclusions to better plan social activities that benefit both the organization and its environment. Originality/Value: The article contributes to the literature on organizational agility and corporate social responsibility by presenting new empirical data on the role of social activities in agile organizations. The study highlights the importance of integrating social activities into business strategy, which can help increase an organization's competitiveness and long-term success.
