The objectives that guided the study included; to examine the relationship between organisational culture and workforce agility; to assess the relationship between organisational culture and psychological empowerment; to establish the relationship between psychological empowerment and workforce agility and to investigate the mediating effect of psychological empowerment on the relationship between organisational culture and workforce agility.

The sample size of the study included 340 employees drawn from the eight life insurance companies in Uganda. A response rate of 95% was obtained for this study.
