Agile leadership is an important managerial function in which responsiveness and innovation appear to be essential elements for the long-term development and success of any business. The world has become increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) during and post COVID-19. Managers are required to possess agile leadership to facilitate their employees' successful careers. Therefore, this study aims to find out the relationship between agile leadership and career success by examining the mediation of job embeddedness in healthcare organizations. The descriptive research design and survey method were employed in this study. The data were collected by using three scales from healthcare employees in healthcare organizations in Turkey. Hypotheses were tested using structural equation modelling (SEM). The data were analysed by using SPSS and AMOS programs. The findings of this study showed that agile leadership behaviours enhance career success. Moreover, the relationship between agile leadership and career success is mediated by job embeddedness. The role of agile leadership in promoting employees' career success has rarely been studied in the literature. This is one of the first studies to examine the effect of agile leadership on career success along with the mediating role of job embeddedness. Healthcare managers have faced many critical challenges at their workplace during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through the lens of managing efficient healthcare organizations in many contexts, this research sheds some important light on the association between agile leadership, career success, and job embeddedness. Managers with high agility levels used strategies such as group decision making, problem solving, effective internal and external communication, and adaptation to uncertain environment in order to increase their career success.
敏捷领导力是一项重要的管理职能，其中响应能力和创新似乎是任何企业长期发展和成功的关键要素。在 COVID-19 期间和之后，世界变得更加动荡、不确定、复杂和模糊（VUCA）。管理者需要具备敏捷领导力，以促进员工的职业成功。因此，本研究旨在通过考察医疗保健组织中的工作嵌入度来探讨敏捷领导力与职业成功之间的关系。本研究采用描述性研究设计和调查方法。数据是通过土耳其医疗保健组织中医疗保健员工的三个量表收集的。使用结构方程模型（SEM）检验假设。使用 SPSS 和 AMOS 程序对数据进行分析。研究结果表明，敏捷领导行为可以提高职业成功。此外，敏捷领导力与职业成功之间的关系受到工作嵌入度的中介作用。在文献中，很少有研究探讨敏捷领导力对员工职业成功的影响。这是第一个研究敏捷领导力对职业成功的影响以及工作嵌入度的中介作用的研究之一。在 COVID-19 大流行期间，医疗保健经理在工作场所面临着许多严峻的挑战。通过在许多背景下管理高效医疗保健组织的视角，本研究为敏捷领导力、职业成功和工作嵌入度之间的关联提供了一些重要的启示。具有高敏捷度水平的管理者采用了群体决策、解决问题、有效的内部和外部沟通以及适应不确定环境等策略，以提高他们的职业成功。
