Abstract :Visionary leaders are leaders who shape the future in the direction of their goals and realize their attitudes and actions in this direction. In this situation visionary leaders struggle to obtain positive outputs from the internal and external environment of the organization, especially in a framework required by continuous change, which is a necessity of the time. One of these positive outcomes is organizational agility. The aim of this study is to illuminate the effect of visionary leadership behavior, one of the modern leadership theories that emerged together with the necessities of the time, on organizational agility. The research was performed on 308 non-managerial white-collar employees working in aircraft leasing companies operating within the structure of general aviation organizations throughout Turkey. Questionnaires were conducted by face-to-face interview method. In the study firstly, the "Visionary Leadership Scale” measured by Sashkin (1996) and transformed into Turkish scale by Tanrıbil (2015), and also, "Organizational Agility Scale” measured by Sharifi and Zhang (1999) and transformed into Turkish scale by Akkaya and Tabak (2018) were used. Analysis results were created using SPSS 23 and Amos 24 applications. In this context in the study, frequency analysis, factor analysis, and reliability analysis, descriptive statistics, and correlation analysis were applied. Additionally, Structural Equation Models (SEMs) analysis was used to test the confirmatory factor analysis, goodness of fit values and coefficients values related to the variables. The research findings showed that visionary leadership and organizational agility has a positive and significant relationship. In addition, a partial effect of visionary leadership on organizational agility was found. Regarding the sub-dimensions, it was determined that communication and risk have effects on flexibility; communication, risk, respect, and focus have effects on response; reliability, respect, and focus have effects on competence; and risk and focus have effects on speed.Keywords : Liderlik, Vizyoner Liderlik, Örgütsel Çeviklik, Havacılık Sektörü, Yapısal Eşitlik Modeli
