Abstract: In this paper, an attempt has been made to explore the factors that describe the concept of an agile workforce. By analysing the responses obtained through a structured questionnaire from 318 managers from cross-functional industries, the factor exploration was made by deploying exploratory factor analysis. The findings of the study reveal that the five factors of agile strategy, structural agility, agile process, agile capability and agile technology were found significant. It is found that the influence of technology on workforce agility has been perceived differently concerning the degree of experience possessed by professionals. The respondents' perception of structure as a contributor to agility is influenced by their level of educational attainment. Similarly, the impact of technology on agility has been influenced by the experience possessed by the executives.
