Abstract
Today, service and manufacturing organizations live in changing environmental conditions and the business, cultural, social, economic and political conditions of the environment affects the performance of organizations. Obviously, unexpected circumstances such as wars, earthquakes, floods, etc. also influence the behavior of organizations. Therefore, the managers should know that environmental threats from all sides threat the life and survival of organizations and organizations just can overcome the crisis by strategic planning and strategic preparation. Previous studies have shown that several factors affect the strategic readiness or preparation, but it is not considered that to what extent the staffs’ organizational agility and mental health can affect it. The present study is subjected to check the enumerated factors in the strategic readiness for crisis management and investigates the role of staffs’ organizational agility and mental health. In this regard, three factors such as "strategic readiness", "organizational agility" and "mental health employees" as variables were tested in the form of three hypotheses. In this study, the relationship between independent variables as the strategic preparation and organizational agility with moderating variable of staffs’ mental health have been studied and analyzed. This study examined the hypothesis that increasing the organizational agility and mental health of employees (staffs) will increase the strategic readiness in crisis. The results of this study have confirmed the accuracy of this hypothesis.
