Organizational Learning & Training and Emotional Intelligence as predictors of Workforce Agility among Bank Employees

According to the findings of this study, businesses may foster their employee's agility by teaching them to be more flexible, quick to adjust to changes, responsive to the requirements of their customers, and more competitive. By offering a training and learning environment, they can increase agility. The new business buzzword is agility. This study assists HR in implementing policies and procedures that encourage employee adaptable behaviour, allowing the organisation to cope with a turbulent business climate. The ongoing digitalization of the business world, which necessitates that firms constantly adapt to a changing environment, makes this topic particularly significant. A. Limitations and Future Research Directions First of all, this study was only conducted in Indian perpective. The effectiveness of organisational practices including learning and training, reward systems, involvement, teamwork, and information systems may differ from one region to another. To make the results more broadly applicable, we think that the size of the sample and the number of nations should be increased. This research only includes employees from the service industry.  Future studies could be carried out in other countries and sectors. To strengthen the reliability of the results, the interview method can be adopted. Future research studies can be undertaken longitudinally, allowing managers to determine whether the training or learning culture they provide is indeed beneficial to employees or not.
