Purpose: This study aims to determine whether organisations in emerging economic contexts demonstrate ambidexterity for sustainable performance in the long term and what the effects of environmental turbulence are on the ambidexterity and sustainable performance relationship. Design/methodology/approach: This study used self-administered questionnaires and telephonic surveys. The sample consisted of profit-seeking organisations from many different industries within South Africa, including, but not limited to, manufacturing, business services, finance, hospitality and tourism, and retail and wholesale. The research was conducted during the 2017 financial year. Findings/results: It was found that moderate to strong relationships exist between the two sub-dimensions of ambidexterity and sustainable performance. The findings depict a strong relationship between exploration and exploitation as the sub-dimensional constructs of ambidexterity, reinforcing existing literature on simultaneous exploration and exploitation. There was no statistically significant information, indicating that environmental turbulence moderates the ambidexterity and sustainable performance relationship. Practical implications: Considering the strong positive relationship between the two sub-dimensions of ambidexterity and sustainable organisational performance, it is advisable for management of South African organisations to focus on ambidextrous strategies for sustaining performance in turbulent environments. Originality/value: This study contributes to the limited body of knowledge investigating ambidexterity as a dynamic capability in an emerging economic context. Moreover, this study contributes to clarify the ambidexterity and sustainable performance relationship in terms of whether organisations can simultaneously explore and exploit and what type of relationship exists between ambidexterity and sustainable performance as previous studies delivered mixed results.

动态策略：调查歧义度与绩效的关系

目的：本研究旨在确定新兴经济环境中的组织是否长期表现出对可持续绩效的矛盾性，以及环境动荡对矛盾性和可持续绩效关系的影响。设计/方法/方法：本研究使用自我管理的问卷和电话调查。样本包括来自南非许多不同行业的营利组织，包括但不限于制造业，商业服务，金融，酒店和旅游业以及零售和批发。该研究在2017财年期间进行。结果/结果：研究发现，在灵活性和可持续绩效这两个子维度之间存在中等至强关系。研究结果描绘了勘探与开发之间的紧密关系，作为矛盾性的次维度构造，从而加强了有关同时勘探与开发的现有文献。没有统计上的重要信息，表明环境动荡减轻了矛盾性和可持续绩效之间的关系。实际意义：考虑到灵活性和可持续组织绩效这两个子维度之间的强积极关系，建议南非组织的管理者专注于在动荡环境中维持绩效的灵活性战略。独创性/价值：本研究有助于将不确定性作为一种动态能力在新兴的经济环境中进行调查的知识体系有限。此外，
