Abstract:
Rapidity of changes and related complexities has caused organizations to be changeability in all aspects. In order to think about future and take necessary actions, it is needed to create suitable sub â€“ structures and basics by which the
organizations are encouraged to have acceptable changeability against future complexities. This is to say that organizations
move toward the future on the basis of two main sub structures including â€œagilityâ€ and â€œmulti â€“ facesâ€. This study includes
qualitative and quantitative parts. In qualitative part, we focus on the investigation of terms â€œagilityâ€ and â€œmulti â€“ facesâ€.
As the two dimensions of organizational changeability for moving toward a changeable future. On the other hand, in
quantitative part, a questionnaire has been prepared for examining the relationship between the two variables in governmental
universities of Yazd province at AMOS space. The results of qualitative part show that organizational experts argue that
futuristic organizations should be agile and multi â€“ faced in order to move rapidly. In this regard, the factors needed for
changing dimensions include multiple strategies and goals, dynamic capabilities and multidimensional structures. Moreover,
the factors needed for achieving agility include flexibility, learning on the base of mistake, time and tempo, the ability of
reconfigurable and the ability of recognizing and solving problems. In quantitative part, the reliability of the questions was
confirmed by use of Cronbachâ€™s Â± up to %90. Moreover, all hypothesis were confirmed by use of confirmed factor analysis
model (P>.5).
