Abstract: With the development of digital technologies and their increasing application in government, digital transformation is a wave rolling up the world. Previous studies had investigated some factors that affect digital transformation. But there is little research on the impact of organizational agility on digital transformation in government. To fill this gap, based on the dynamic capabilities view, this study aims to investigate how organizational agility affects digital transformation and dynamic capabilities as antecedents and factors impacting organizational agility. A survey study was conducted to empirically test the model. The data were collected from 313 government employees in government departments. The findings suggest that (1) organizational agility significantly influences digital transformation and (2) dynamic capabilities are important predictors of organizational agility.
