“…(iii) Identify the internal mechanisms used by flexible companies to organize ideas in a collaborative environment, as well as priorities, and facilitating conflict resolution [11]; our paper aims to fill this gap by showing that a firm with greater flexibility and better-enabled communication will achieve more efficient decision-making processes. (iv) Determine how to take advantage of this flexibility within the company and to strengthen potential and realized absorptive capacity to obtain organizational innovation throughout the organization [9, [12][13][14][15][16]. Such exploitation involves enabling organizational innovation throughout the firm by increasing flexible organizational design and the number of more knowledgeable individuals.…”

Organizational innovation is increasingly mandatory for firms to overcome their competitors. Organizational innovation is especially relevant in today's dynamic and turbulent environments, where other internal variables-such as technological assets, employee training, coordination of new management capabilities, and new flexible human resources and more adaptable organizational designs-must be encouraged to create value and competitive advantage. The purpose of our research is to analyse whether technological assets influence absorptive capacity (potential and realized absorptive capacity) and how absorptive capacity influences internal labour flexibility, organizational innovation and performance. We achieve these goals by analysing the interrelations among internal labour flexibility, organizational innovation and performance, using the theory of resources and capabilities. A quantitative study was carried out with data gathered by personal interview using a structured questionnaire. Relationships proposed in the theoretical model were estimated through a structural equation model, using a sample of 160 European technology companies. The results show that support for technology and improvement of technological skills and technological distinctive competencies promote improvement in organizational performance through their positive influence on the processes of potential and realized absorption capacity. Potential absorptive capacity influences realized absorptive capacity, which impacts not only internal labour flexibility but also organizational innovation and organizational performance. Further, internal labour flexibility influences organizational performance through organizational innovation. This issue is of particular interest when considering the dynamic nature of turbulent technological environments in which the organization operates. Technological assets thus identify new sources of flexibility and organizational innovation based on deeper contextual knowledge and tools that aid knowledge capacity in the company.

“…People could not get face to face communication which limits mimics and body expressions. This may result in loss of reliability among working team members responsible for business projects and thus the group members may hesitate to share their individual ideas (Wang and Reani, 2017). This impersonality issue may also lead to miscommunication and misunderstandings due to the lack of body and facial expressions.…”

“…Therefore, IT could assist decision-makers by involving different team members and stakeholders in the process, thus considering different perspectives to the selection criteria. Groupware technologies such as e-collaborative systems and group decision support systems [55] could be used to gather opinions anonymously and making more transparent decisions. Having said that, it is noteworthy that this study was conducted in a strongly democratic country with low power distance [23].…”

Although the composition of individuals can strongly affect the success of professional collaboration, organizations often struggle with their so-called social matching decisions. For example, when recruiting new people to an organization, the decision-making is often reduced to intuitively matching individuals based on vague descriptions of projects or positions. The role of technology in recruiting is typically confined to gathering and presenting simple candidate profiles. We argue that many issues in recruitment boil down to lack of understanding the process of decision-making from social matching perspective, covering aspects like identification of relevant selection criteria and choice of the most suitable candidate. To better understand the appropriate roles of information technology (IT) in this domain, we interviewed 21 expert matchmakers, such as HR specialists and headhunters. Based on qualitative analysis of their experiences, we provide a bottom-up framework of the decision-making stages in recruitment, focusing on the pertinent challenges from the perspective of social matching. The findings indicate that, particularly, the epistemic asymmetry between the recruiter and candidates regarding the expected qualities calls for deliberation throughout the decision-making process. Matchmakers also struggle between contradictory ideals of agility and holistic decision-making. Based on the findings and relevant literature, we propose six roles that IT could play in social matching decisions in recruitment.
