The Nexus amid Workforce Agility and Adaptive Performance: Mediating Role of Employee’s Loyalty among Information Technology Professionals

Employee Loyalty is a vital indicator to measure organizational effectiveness. The employee performance depends on individual agility and also in team assignments. Thus, there is a need to establish link between employee loyalty and performance. Literature review reinforces to pursue research considering three constructs namely Workforce Agility (WFA), Adaptive Performance (AP) and Employee Loyalty (EL). A conceptual model has been designed grounded on Social Exchange Theory and Ability, Motivation and Opportunity theories. The present research examines hypothesized framework on evaluating the role of EL amid WFA and AP among IT professionals. This investigation involves surveying employees of IT organisations located in Karnataka, India were considered. The survey instrument with 486 valid responses is used to measure and validated with Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) and Fit indices using AMOS. Results indicates that there is direct association between WFA, AP and EL. EL acts as a partial mediator between WFA and AP
