چکیده

امروزه، به علت تغییرات روزافزون محیط، انعطاف‌پذیری منابع انسانی به‌عنوان عامل بقا و رشد سازمان­ها مورد توجه قرار گرفته است؛ در همین راستا هدف پژوهش حاضر، طراحی الگوی انعطاف‌پذیری منابع انسانی برای سازمان­های دولتی استان لرستان می­‌باشد. پژوهش حاضر به لحاظ روش یک تحقیق پیمایشی، از نظر هدف یک پژوهش کاربردی، به لحاظ گردآوری داده‌­ها یک پژوهش توصیفی - میدانی و از نظر استراتژی، استقرایی است. جهت تجزیه تحلیل داده­‌ها از روش پژوهش کیفی با ماهیت اکتشافی استفاده شد. با رویکرد فراترکیب منابع مرتبط با موضوع انتخاب و پس از مراحل هفت‌گانة این روش، ابعاد و شاخص­‌های انعطاف‌پذیری منابع انسانی به دست آمد. سپس به‌منظور تأیید، تکمیل و بومی‌­سازی مدل به دست آمده، با 14 نفر از خبرگان دانشگاهی و اجرایی مصاحبه عمیق و نیمه ساختاریافته انجام شد. نمونه‌­گیری برای انتخاب خبرگان به روش گلوله برفی هدفمند انجام شد. یافته­های مصاحبه، تجزیه تحلیل و به روش تحلیل مضمون کدگذاری گردید. روایی و پایایی هر دو مرحله با روش میزان توافق دو کدگذار محاسبه گردید؛ مقدار آن 83/0 بود. پس از ادغام نتایج حاصل از فراترکیب و تحلیل مضمون، الگوی انعطاف‌پذیری منابع انسانی شامل 8 بعد انعطاف‌پذیری وظیفه‌­ای (با 6 شاخص)،­ انعطاف‌پذیری مهارتی (6 شاخص)، انعطاف‌پذیری رفتاری (3 شاخص)، انعطاف‌پذیری شایستگی حرفه­ای (10 شاخص)، انعطاف‌پذیری اخلاقی (6 شاخص)، انعطاف‌پذیری ارتباطی (6 شاخص)، انعطاف‌پذیری دانشی (8 شاخص) و انعطاف‌پذیری فناورانه (12 شاخص) می­باشد. مدیران برای رسیدن به مطلوب­‌ترین وضعیت انعطاف‌پذیری، می­‌بایست ترکیب متفاوتی از الگوها و ابعاد آن استفاده نمایند.

چکیده [English]

Today, due to the ever-increasing changes in the environment, the flexibility of human resources is considered a factor in the survival and development of organizations. In this regard, the purpose of this study was to design a Human Resource Flexibility Model for governmental organizations in Lorestan province. The current research is survey research in terms of method, applied research in terms of purpose, descriptive-field research in terms of data collection, and inductive in terms of strategy. Using the meta-synthesis approach, resources related to the topic were selected and after the seven steps of this method, the dimensions and indicators of human resource flexibility were obtained. Then, to confirm, complete, and localize the obtained model in-depth and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 academic and executive experts. Sampling was done by targeted snowball method to select experts. The results of the interviews were analyzed and coded by the thematic analysis method. The validity and reliability of both stages were calculated by the agreement method of the two coders. Its value was 0.83. After integrating the results of meta-synthesis and theme analysis, the human resources flexibility model includes 8 dimensions of functional flexibility (with 6 indicators), skill flexibility (6 indicators), behavioral flexibility (3 indicators), flexibility of professional competencies (10 indicators), ethical flexibility (6 indicators), communicational flexibility (6 indicators), knowledge flexibility (8 indicators), and technological flexibility (12 indicators). Managers should use a different combination of models and their dimensions to achieve optimal conditions of flexibility.
