Purpose: The aim of this research was to examine the impact of organizational agility on the efficiency of enterprises. Design/methodology/approach: The research was conducted using a survey among 720 respondents from Poland in February 2023. Opinions on the impact of organizational agility on various aspects of enterprise efficiency were analyzed, such as image improvement, profitability, market position, competitiveness, building trust and relationships with customers, promoting social activities and ethical and sustainable operation. Findings: Organizational agility has a multi-faceted impact on the functioning of enterprises, including improving the image, increasing profitability, strengthening the market position, increasing competitiveness, building trust, promoting social activities and sustainable and ethical operation. The research results indicate that the majority of respondents agree with the statement that organizational agility contributes to improving the company's image and increasing its profitability. Research limitations/implications: The research is limited to respondents from Poland, which may affect the generalizability of the results to other countries and regions. Further research is needed across industries and regions to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of organizational agility on business performance. Practical implications: Research findings can help managers identify key areas where organizational agility can deliver the greatest benefits. This may include management strategies, employee development, customer relationship management and promoting social activities and sustainability. Social implications: Organizational agility helps build trust and relationships with customers and promotes social performance and sustainability. Agile companies engage in activities for sustainable development and compliance with high ethical standards, which positively affects their image and relations with stakeholders.
