The agility of organizational structures is recognized as a key component in improving the performance of government organizations. Given the rapid changes in economic, political, and social environments, organizations seek strategies to enhance their flexibility and efficiency. In this regard, the primary objective of this study is to design an agility model for the organizational structure of the Ministry of Industry, Mine, and Trade of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Initially, by reviewing the literature and previous studies, the researcher identified two main categories: the requirements and prerequisites of structural agility, as well as its consequences and outcomes. Subsequently, through qualitative interviews with 13 experts from the Ministry of Industry, Mine, and Trade and academic specialists, a localized organizational agility model tailored to this ministry was developed. The findings of this study indicate that the designed model comprises four main categories: structural agility requirements, outcomes and consequences, facilitating factors, and barriers and challenges to structural agility. This study identifies the necessary requirements and prerequisites for establishing an agile structure in the Ministry of Industry, Mine, and Trade, while also examining the existing barriers and challenges. Accordingly, practical strategies for enhancing the agility of the organizational structures within the ministry are proposed.
