Purpose This paper aims to examine the link between information systems (IS) agility, HR performance management systems and job satisfaction using organizational information processing theory. The objective of this study answers the following questions: How does use of different IS agility impact HR systems and job satisfaction? What are the connecting pathways by which IS agility affects HR systems and job satisfaction? Design/methodology/approach The authors developed a theoretical framework based on the organizational information processing theory and collected primary data through an online-based questionnaire. Following these procedures, the authors analyzed the data using structural equation modeling (SEM). Findings SEM analysis of the data from 150 respondents supports the organizational information processing theory. The authors proposed eight hypotheses, and only one was rejected. Research limitations/implications The data were collected from South Africa only, which is an emerging economy, and these cross-sectional data were gathered from the perspectives of the respondents. Originality/value The present paper empirically tests the conceptual model through the lens of organizational information processing theory.

The Role of Project Manager in Agile Software Teams: A Systematic Literature Review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The use of Agile methodologies in software development has grown steadily over recent years. One of the main emphases of these methods is employing cross-functional and self-organized teams and highly skilled developers in software projects. In such a condition, project management would be a serious concern. Indeed, it would be confusing whether Agile teams are really in need of the role of the project manager. While Agile methodologies do not explicitly define the role of the project manager, many reports mention the existence of this role in Agile projects in real environments. So, it seems that the existence of this role is debated. Conducting a Systematic Literature Review, this study tried to find out answers to the ambiguities and questions regarding the role of Agile project management, the role of the project manager, and related issues. Focusing on the primary studies, the results show that there is no independent job called project manager in Agile methodologies. However, there is a need for it. Moreover, in the absence of this role in Agile methodologies and the need for it, it seems that this role would be structurally different from the traditional role of the project manager in terms of responsibilities and duties. Finally, the results show that pre-defined roles in Agile methodologies are often responsible for the project manager duties in software teams with no project manager.

“…Similarly, Thiry (2015, p. 17) suggests a two-by-two matrix for managing tasks ranging from routine to unsettling change. Nicholls et al (2015) suggest an extensive but non-exhaustive list of conditions for which agile approaches are better suited than traditional approaches. Researchers also emphasize that agile approaches are generally applicable and not restricted to technological development projects, for which the agile approach was originally introduced with the agile manifest (Beck et al, 2001).…”
