The Individual Readiness On Workforce Agility Of Indonesian Military Reserve Components
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze the relationship between readiness to change, perceived organizational support, and workforce agility in the Indonesian Military Reserve Components. This study utilized a quantitative approach using structural equation modeling (SEM). The population comprised 3,103 Indonesian Reserve Component, with a sample of 356 individuals determined using the Slovin formula. Data analysis was conducted using SmartPLS v.4, including inner and outer measurement model tests. The study provides several results, firstly, individual readiness to change has a positive and significant influence on workforce agility. This is because rapid changes occur frequently in the military, and the ability to effectively respond to environmental changes is crucial for operational success. Secondly, individual readiness to change also has a positive and significant influence on perceived organizational support. Individuals with a higher level of readiness are more open to change and will make efforts to adapt quickly. Thirdly, perceived organizational support has a positive and significant influence on workforce agility. This is because the support provided by colleagues, superiors, and organizational policies enables reserve TNI members to work effectively and adapt to changes.
