Rapid changes in the organizational environment depend on increasing social responsibility and organizational agility. One way to achieve organizational agility is to use e-government. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation model of E-Government and organizational agility with the mediating role of social responsibility in the staff of the Ministry of Sports and Youth.

The instruments used were demographic questionnaire, "E-Government Questionnaire", "Organizational Agility Questionnaire" and "Corporate Social Responsibility Questionnaire". Face validity, content by qualitative method and convergence of questionnaires and reliability by internal consistency method were evaluated and confirmed by calculating Cronbachchr('39')s alpha coefficient and composite reliability. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS. 18 and PLS. 23.

The values of t-statistic were positive for the relationship between e-government and organizational agility and social responsibility as well as the relationship between social responsibility and organizational agility and were reported to be significant at 99% confidence level. The values of standard coefficients of e-government path on social responsibility, social responsibility on organizational agility and e-government on organizational agility through social responsibility were reported as positive. The model of structural equations was evaluated and validated using the goodness-of-fit index.

There is a positive and significant correlation between e-government and organizational agility. The variable of social responsibility in the relationship between e-government and organizational agility plays a relative mediating role.
