The research is classified as explanatory research with variables including transformational leadership, intellectual capital, organizational learning, and organizational agility.

The sampling technique applied was purposive sampling with criteria of a minimum of five years of service and a minimum age of 25 years. Data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling with the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach. The results indicate that transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on organizational learning and organizational agility, intellectual capital has a positive and significant effect on organizational learning and organizational agility, and organizational learning has a positive and significant effect on organizational agility. These findings emphasize that the synergy of transformational leadership and intellectual capital, through the process of organizational learning, plays a crucial role in enhancing organizational agility.
