今日的商業環境是非常複雜且變化快速的。對企業來說，敏捷性成為取得競爭優勢必要的一種能力。過去的文獻對於資訊科技能力與組織的敏捷性有許多不同觀點，包括資訊科技能力可以使組織更加敏捷，或者是資訊科技能力會使得組織更加遲緩。另一方面過去這些文獻大多是概念性研究或者個案研究。因此，我們進行實徵研究，對於資訊科技能力及組織敏捷性的關係提供更多的證據。除此之外，過去的研究對於資訊科技能力及組織敏捷性在特定情境下的瞭解並不多。在我們的研究中，我們加入市場導向及環境變動性兩個調節變數來調節資訊科技及組織敏捷性的關係。因此，我們試圖去探索資訊科技能力與組織敏捷性的關係、市場導向如何影響組織敏捷性、市場導向對於資訊科技能力與組織敏捷性的調節效果、以及環境變動性是如何影響市場導向對資訊科技能力及組織敏捷性的調節效果。經過實徵資料的分析後，我們發現資訊科技能力對於組織敏捷性有正向的影響效果、且市場導向對於組織敏捷性有正向的影響效果。

Today’s business environment is complicated and rapidly changing. Agility becomes a necessary capability for a firm in order to achieve competitive advantage. There were many different perspectives about IT capability make a firm more agile or more sluggish proposed in the past but most of them are the conceptual or case study. Therefore we conduct an empirical study to provide more evidences to the relationship between IT capability and organizational agility. Besides, past researches did not deeply realize the relationship between IT capability and organizational agility in some particular circumstances. In this study, we added two variables including market orientation and environmental dynamism to moderate the relationship between IT capability and organizational agility. Hence, our study try to explore the relationship between IT capability and organizational agility, how market orientation affects organizational agility, the moderating effect of market orientation on the relationship between IT capability and organizational agility and how the moderated moderation effect of environmental dynamism influences the effect of market orientation on the relationship between IT capability and organizational agility. After the empirical data analysis, we found that IT capability is positively associated with organizational agility, and market orientation is positively associated with organizational agility
