Description
The study investigates how CIOs may promote organizational agility. Drawing on the research streams of organizational politics, top management team (TMT) behavioral integration, and agility, we argue political skill is vital for the CIO to contribute to organizational agility. We conjecture the impact of CIO political skill on organizational agility is mediated by CIO-TMT behavioral integration. Furthermore, the mediation relationship is moderated by CIO business knowledge. An integrative research model is developed based upon the conceptual foundations and validated through questionnaire data collected from 218 matched CIO/TMT dyads. Results from our data analyses suggest, whereas CIO-TMT behavioral integration plays a critical role in building organizational agility, the CIO must leverage his/her political skill to exert influence on other business executives and organizational outcomes.
