Abstract

Complexity of environmental conditions, dynamism and uncertainty are among the signs of the new quantum era. The
Background and Objective: Complexity of environmental conditions, dynamism and uncertainty are among the signs of the new quantum age. The implementation of the quantum model makes organizations constantly changing, agile, and in which innovation and information flow freely.
research methodology: In terms of quantitative nature, in terms of practical purpose and method of implementation, the present research was a descriptive correlational type structural equation method. The statistical population of this research was made up of all the employees of the education departments of Hamedan city, numbering 512 people. In order to collect data, three standard questionnaires of quantum skills of Mirsefian managers (2015), readiness of employees for organizational change by Graham (2006) and organizational agility by Sharifi and Zhanek (1999) were used. After collecting the data, they were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling by Spss and Lisrel software.
Findings: The findings of research hypotheses showed that the direct effect of quantum management skills on employees' readiness for organizational change is 0.76 and on organizational agility is 0.33 positive and significant. Also, the direct effect of employees' readiness for organizational change on organizational agility is 0.52 positive and significant. The indirect effect of quantum management skills through employees' readiness for organizational change on organizational agility is 0.39 positive and significant.
Conclusion: Employees' readiness for organizational change can increase the correlation between managers' quantum skills and organizational agility as a mediator. The 21st century requires a quantum worldview. It is suggested that the basics of quantum management skills be taught to the managers of education departments of Hamadan city and even school managers, so as to increase the readiness of employees for organizational change and consequently provide organizational agility.
