Aims: The present educational environmental features are fundamentally different from the past and universities should move towards using agile organization components. Due to the need to move towards agility for universities, this study aimed to investigate the applicability of the Fars public universities with the agile organization components.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was done on the faculty members of the Fars public universities and 310 persons were selected using relative stratified sampling. Data collected by a researcher-made questionnaire. 116 items of the questionnaire were scored based on two separated Likert scale from one to five and assessed the desired situation and the current situation, simultaneously. Data were analyzed by correlated samples T test. Agility in all of the desired state and the current status of faculty members were significantly different.
Findings: The scores mean of universities adaptions to the agile organization components was lower than the assumed mean of 3 in all components from faculty members’ view (p=0.001). There was a significant difference in all agility components between the desired and current status from faculty members’ view.
Conclusion: From the faculty members’ view, Fars public universities are far from achieving the desired status regarding agile organization components.
