Scale	Statements	Reliabilities based on CFA models
Agile mindset employee [AMe]/Non-agile mindset employee [nAMe] Kucharska et al. (2026)	About workmates perceived by you as an agile mindset: a. they quickly adapt to new conditions b. they usually achieve their aims c. they never give up d. they learn, unlearn, and relearn smoothly e. they can work in unpredictable environments (they accept uncertainty) f. they act dynamically g. they see change as an opportunity h. they are passionate, enthusiastic, and engaged at work (all conditions met) i. they can follow schemes but also can act creatively beyond schemes (both conditions met) j. they accept the challenge k. they are open to change l. they accept risk m. they learn from mistakes ATTENTION: Regarding non-agile mindsets, participants responded to the same statements as they did for agile mindsets, but usually responded negatively or oppositely (disagreed with statements given). The same method (reverse coding) was applied by Dweck et al. (1995) to measure growth and fixed mindsets	Cronbach alpha = 0.90 AVE = 0.64 CR = 0.92 Cmin/df = 4.6 CFI = 0.960 TLI = 0.952 RMSEA = 0.062/Cronbach alpha = 0.97 AVE = 0.76 CR = 0.96 Cmin/df = 4.4 CFI = 0.979 TLI = 0.972 RMSEA = 0.078
Agile culture [AC] Authors' scale based on qualitative codes identified by Kucharska et al. (2026)	About company's culture orientation towards agility: a. We have common goals, vision, and values concerning constant development b. We have a common willingness to learn and improve our work methods so that we can achieve more and more together c. We are inclusive (we care that everyone feels part of the team) d. We communicate openly and solve problems on an ongoing basis e. together we are very efficient f. We constantly search for the best solutions, so we are ready to be wrong g. Change is a norm h. Nothing is set-up forever i.we accept ambiguity (not everything looks as it seems – so, we stay open-minded)	Cronbach alpha = 0.87 AVE = 0.55 CR = 0.80 Cmin/df = 4.0 CFI = 0.979 TLI = 0.972 RMSEA = 0.058
Change management Adapted from: Grover and Jeong (1995), Al‐Mashari and Zairi (1999), Xiang et al. (2014)	a.we are informed in advance about the reasons for upcoming changes b.the company communicates the change implementation plan (step by step) c.the company cares about employees' attitudes toward the change d.the organization provides adequate training for employees to facilitate change e.the organization delivers all resources and tools needed to implement the change f.managers support employees with change adoption	Cronbach alpha = 0.86 AVE = 0.55 CR = 0.87 Cmin/df = 4.0 CFI = 0.960 TLI = 0.919 RMSEA = 0.068
