strategic agility with its dimensions (strategic sensitivity, organizational capabilities,
strategic response).

It stems from the following sub-hypotheses:
The first sub-hypothesis: There is no statistically significant effect at the level of
significance (α< = 0.05) of transformational leadership in its dimensions (leadership
attractiveness, inspiring motivation, creative encouragement, individual interest) on
strategic sensitivity as a dimension of strategic agility.

The second sub-hypothesis: There is no statistically significant effect at the level of
significance (α< = 0.05) of transformational leadership in its dimensions (leadership
attractiveness, inspiring motivation, creative encouragement, individual interest) on
organizational capabilities as a dimension of strategic agility.
The third sub-hypothesis: There is no statistically significant effect at the level of
significance (α< = 0.05) of transformational leadership in its dimensions (leadership
attractiveness, inspiring motivation, creative encouragement, individual interest) on
the strategic response as a dimension of strategic agility.
