Megawaty Megawaty, Hendriadi Hendriadi

Abstract


This research aims to understand the relationship that exists between HR Agility and organizational innovation in the context of technology-based companies. Rapid technological transformation and constant changes in the business environment require technology-based companies to be highly responsive to change and innovate continuously. One important element in responding to these changes is human resource agility. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach by conducting analysis on a number of technology-based companies in the city of Makassar that have demonstrated a high level of innovation. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with stakeholders and observations of the company environment. The research results show that there is a strong relationship between HR's ability to adapt to change (HR Agility) and the level of organizational innovation. Companies that have strong HR Agility practices tend to have higher levels of innovation. This research identifies factors that support HR Agility in the context of technology-based companies, including employee development, an organizational culture that supports innovation, and a management system that is responsive to change. The results of this research provide valuable insights for organizational leaders and human resources professionals in understanding the role of HR Agility in driving organizational innovation in a rapidly changing business environment
