HANNES ZACHER Professur für Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie Fakultät für Lebenswissenschaften Universität Leipzig E-Mail: hannes.zacher@uni-leipzig.de www.lw.uni-leipzig.de SUMMARY Research question: Companies are introducing agile practices to enhance performance and innovation. The effects of these practices on work characteristics and the psychological health of employees have not yet been investigated. Methodology: A survey study with 2 measurement waves and 260 employees in agile teams was conducted. Practical implications: The results show that agile practices have a positive impact on psychological health (higher engagement, lower fatigue), mediated by reduced work demands and increased resources.
