Human resource issues in virtual organisation

● Recruitment is conducted under time pressure and requires high


performance expectations.
● Both human capital (Knowing one’s job) and social capital (Knowing
each other) become extricably linked.
● Social relationships do not require much stability.
● Workplace is variable
● Value of idleness is shown in terms of learning by watching what
others do.
● Job status and project feedback is short-term. Therefore, virtual
organisations require a heavy investment to create systems and
staffing structures.
Cont.
Employee selection and performance management are the two critical human resource problems in virtual
organisation. People who are to work in a virtual organisation require the following traits:

● Self guided and self motivated.


● Familiarity and comfortability with the job.
● Effective communication skills - both oral and written.
● Adaptability.
● Technical self sufficiency.
● Result orientation.

Performance management is the most difficult problem in virtual organisations. It requires daily attention on
three principles due to physical separation of workers and managers:

● Define performance goal of cach member or team clearly.


● Facilitate performance by eliminating all obstacles and providing necessary resources.
● Encourage performance by providing rewards.

To conclude, human resource management in virtual organisations requires shift from person-job fit to
person-role fit.
