Designing and Explanation of Human Resources Agility Model in Project-Based Organizations

Human resource management in project-oriented organizations is a new issue that has a pivotal role in organizational processes due to the impact on how human resources are absorbed and used. Changing the business environment in today's world persuades organizations to implement their strategies and structures in a way that meets the needs of their customers so that they can deal with these changes and take steps toward organizational agility. Therefore, agility is one of the important concerns of organizations and it is necessary to identify the factors affecting employee agility. Therefore, thirteen factors that were more in line with the statistical population and were more considered by managers and experts were selected. For this purpose, two approaches of interpretive structural modeling and interpretive ranking process have been used to identify and rank key barriers to access to human resource mobility in project-based organizations. The results of the structural modeling approach show that the four factors of encouragement and support for management, participation, empathy and sense of need are the infrastructure for achieving human resource agility. Then, using the method of interpretive ranking process, the ranking of each factor is determined. Also, a comparison was made between the two methods of interpretive structural modeling and the process of interpretive ranking and the advantages and disadvantages of each were discussed.
