The Responsiveness of the Human Resources Strategies for the Organizational Immune System from the Perspective of the Environmental of Uncertainty: Exploratory and Analytic Research on a Sample of Iraqi Companies
Three variables have interacted to form the intellectual and philosophical framework
of this study, that is (organizational immune system and the strategies of human resources environmental uncertainty). This study started from a problem tackled in a number of intellectual and applied questions. The aim behind answering such questions is to pinpoint the theoretical philosophy and the ideological signs of these variables, for it is one of the modern topics in the Arabic environment in general and in the Iraqi environment in particular. Then, showing the level of the importance of those variables and their effect and the possibility of using them in the area of application formed from a sample of organizations (Iraqi Airways, Mansur Melia, and Zain Telecom). The sample of the study is limited to (114) persons from not only those who go with the characteristics required by the work of the organizational immune system, but also those who pay attention to the study of the variables of the outer environment, and they deal with the situations of uncertainty; they are meant to be the decision makers. The sample is represented by a deliberate sample of directors, heads of departments and divisions, experts, and consults.
The problem of the study started from a group of questions, clarifying the relationship between environmental uncertainty and its reflection on the organizational immune system; and then the response of the human resources strategies for this turbulent environment. The study is directed to present the importance of focusing on the components of its immune system and activating the work of its functions in a scientific way away from randomness, and drawing the attention of the administrative leadership that the ability to produce sub systems to ensure protection from eccentric and strange behavior whether internal or external, without the need of constructing new structures spending a lot of human and materialistic resources as they are subjective in both work and structure, and establishing strategies for the human resources in a way that matches the ability of those resources to ensure full protection for the systems and their balance and stability in the light of concentrating on the minute strategies of attraction.
The study used statistical tools —-In analyzing and dealing with data and information by using the statistical package for the social sciences, and because the study followed the methodology of the research and Baadi analysis, it is a diagnostic and analytic study, and its importance lies in the sense that it will get to the deeply rooted ideological and philosophical nature of the variables of the study depending on an applied effort concerning the nature of the variables the study dealt with. This ethodology is comprehensive in getting to its objectives, and it is also used in a number of studies in which different fields of knowledge are used. The nature of this study is SPSS. For this reason, SPSS statistical tools like medium, mode, and standard deviation for Wells, and Whitney.
For this reason, the study adopted a virtual diagram expressing the logical relationships among the variables of the study, and in order to discover the nature of the relationships, a group of hypotheses have been introduced as preliminary answers the study try to check their validity; the important of which are :
1-the workers realize the organizational immune system in the organizations used through the components of the system.
2-the environmental uncertainty directly and indirectly influences the strategies of the human resources by using organizational immune system.
The study managed to get to the conclusion that the Iraqi airway company is one of the companies targeted in the study and which made use of the organizational immune system for it is highly influenced by the environmental uncertainty. This company is followed by Asia cell telecom , and then Mansur Melia company is the last in the list in making use of the organizational immune system. Asia cell company is the most sensitive of the companies targeted in the study in the field of choosing its human resources in a way that suits the organizational immune system. It is followed by Zain telecom, Iraqi airways, and Mansur Melia the is last in the list.
the recommendations of the study are seen in the fact that Iraqi airway and Asia cell are to build early warning and sensor systems as long as they are highly influenced and most beneficiary the organizational immune system and that the system is more vulnerable to environmental uncertainty, and that the companies of zain telecom and Mansur melia should study the organizational immune system and the way of activating its components and functions. Having done this, the company will be quite sensitive to the environmental variables which no organization can be away from its impacts.
