The statistical population of this study included all employees of the Bardaskan Education Office in the academic year 2015-2016, of which 300 were reported. 170 Subjects were selected through voluntary sampling method and responded to job motivation questionnaire of Hackman & Oldham with Cronbach’s alpha=0/88, General Self-Efficacy with Cronbach’s alpha=0/85 and Organizational Agility questionnaire with Cronbach's alpha=0/85. Pearson correlation and multiple regressions were used simultaneously in version 20 of SPSS software for data analysis. The results showed that there is a direct and significant relationship between job motivation and organizational agility (P < 0.0001, r = 0.637), as well as between self-efficacy and organizational agility (P = 0.0001, r = 0.752). The results of regression analysis revealed significant beta coefficients for prediction of organizational agility on job motivation (P <0.001, β = 0.453) and self-efficacy (P <0.0001, β =0.445) was significant and these two predictors can explain 77% of the variance in organizational agility scores (P <0.0001, F = 230.37). The higher levels of job motivation help organizational agility by effectively orienting employees into organizational goals and self-efficacy by creating a sense of the effectiveness of employee behavior. The findings of this research are discussed in the context of the organization. LA eng UL http://journalieaa.ir/article-1-109-en.html M3 ER -
