Background. Organizational ambidexterity is listed among up-to-date concepts recommended for managers to cope with turbulence and multidimensionality of the business environment. The idea of combining both evolutionary and revolutionary organizational changes seems to be very attractive but challenging to implement. Although it has been widely discussed in the management-related literature for more than twenty years, it has not been explored thoroughly and it still remains an interesting topic for further research.
Research aims. The aim of the paper is to analyze the literature contribution to the development of the ambidextrous organization concept as well as to identify the key problems and trends in research output. The research process is oriented to responding to the following questions: (1) What are the key contributions of the literature in the field to the development of the concept? (2) What are the key research topics and trends in the field?
Methodology. Systematic literature survey is the applied methodology. The Scopus database is used as a source for the sampling process.
Key findings. The analysis points out the following main areas of research interest in the field: (1) ambidexterity and ambidextrous organization conceptualization, (2) organizational management context (including managers) where these assumptions are embedded and studied, (3) innovations, organizational learning processes and creativity, and (4) strategic management aspects.

Tło badań. "Oburęczność" organizacyjna zaliczana jest do najnowszych koncepcji zarządzania rekomendowanych w celu radzenia sobie z turbulencją i wielowymiarowością otoczenia organizacyjnego. Idea łączenia zmian organizacyjnych o charakterze ewolucyjnym i radyklanym wydaje się bardzo atrakcyjna, ale jednocześnie trudna do wdrożenia. Pomimo że koncepcja ta jest szeroko analizowana w literaturze przedmiotu z zakresu nauk o zarządzaniu od ponad 20 lat, w dalszym ciągu pozostaje interesującym obszarem badań naukowych.
Cele badań. Celem artykułu jest analiza wkładu literatury przedmiotu w rozwój koncepcji organizacji oburęcznej (ambidexterous organization) oraz zidentyfikowanie kluczowych problemów i trendów badawczych. Proces badawczy został ukierunkowany na uzyskanie odpowiedzi na następujące pytania: (1) Jakie są najważniejsze publikacje naukowe, które przyczyniły się do rozwoju koncepcji organizacji oburęcznej? (2) Jakie są kluczowe tematy i trendy w obrębie pola badawczego?
Metodyka. Do realizacji celu pracy zastosowano metodę systematycznego przeglądu literatury. Źródłem danych w procesie doboru próby badawczej była baza Scopus.
Kluczowe wnioski. Analiza słów kluczowych oraz treści abstraktów i artykułów zakwalifikowanych do próby badawczej wskazuje na cztery główne obszary zainteresowania w obrębie pola badawczego: (1) ideę i koncepcję oburęczności organizacyjnej, (2) kontekst organizacyjny i zarządzania, w którym badane są założenia koncepcji, (3) innowacje, procesy organizacyjnego uczenia się i kreatywność oraz (4) zarządzanie strategiczne.
