Characteristics of flexible, agile organisations and their significance for leadership and well-being at work Introduction: Agility is an organisational concept to increase the adaptability and flexibility of companies and it is widely discussed among researchers and practitioners. However, in many cases, the term agility is not precisely defined. Moreover, it describes very different approaches. Aims: The aim of this article is to identify essential characteristics and requirements of agile working methods in organisations that have established alternative structures and processes in order to improve adaptability and flexibility. Method: We conducted and analysed qualitative interviews (N=27) in five organisations. Results: We found characteristics of innovative and flexible forms of leadership and organisation in transformed structures and processes, defined values and objectives as an orientation framework and a new understanding of leadership in the companies studied. Transparency and participation were identified as factors that supported agile forms of organisation. The findings were discussed and classified with particular regard to health and well-being. Conclusions: The implementation of agile working requires suitable organisational support for teams, individual employees and leaders in order to be both successful and health-oriented. Keywords: agility – adaptability – flexibility – leadership
