Instability and change in the workplace have been important issues for research for a very long time. These very important conditions have led to investigations into working priorities, strategic attitude and the persistence of old examples or have even produced new methods that persist to date. Therefore, today, one of the best strategies for ensuring the survival and success of organizations and responding to organizational change is their concentrating on ‘organizational agility’. Agility is an aware and comprehensive answer to the changing needs and achieving success by using opportunities that the organization acquires. This study is a descriptive-correlational field research attempting to measure and rank the fragility capabilities in the Social Security Organization of Kohkilooye& Boyer-Ahmad province. The population comprises 180 individuals selected through census method. For data collection, the study employs the questionnaire of fragility capabilities including aspects of speed, competency, responsiveness and flexibility. Their Chronbach’s alpha coefficients equal 77%, 80%, 78% and 83%, respectively. The study also emloys Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, the test of normality of the population, student’s t- tests, Friedman test and test of population mean. The findings reveal that enjoying a mean of 3.3 in responsiveness and competence indices the Social Security Organization is in desirable conditions. However, enjoying a mean of 2.8 in speed indices and 2.9 in flexibility indices, this organization is in inappropriate conditions. In order to meet present and future needs of the society and obtain resources to pay short-term and long-term costs, besides paying attention to the two principles of responsiveness and competency, the Social Security Organization must take the increase of speed and flexibility into consideration, too.
