“…As indicated by the results of H1a and H1c, this study has proven that individual absorptive capacity has partial influence on employees' knowledge acquisition. This result is parallel to the results obtained by Murray and Chao (2005), Mykytyn et al (1994), and Kwok and Gao (2006).…”

“…On the contrary, past research by Anderson (1987), Kanfer & Ackerman (1989), Mykytyn et al (1994), Ackerman, Kanfer, & Goff (1995), Anderson, Fincham, & Douglas (1997), Politis (2003), Junaidah (2007), and Liu & Liu (2008), view knowledge acquisition as an individual level constructs applicable and measurable at the individual level. This perspective originates from Polanyi (1967) who stated that organizational knowledge is actually rooted in individuals and must be acquired at individual level before it is transformed into organizational knowledge.…”

“…This behavior can also be viewed as a major learning process in an individual learning behavior (ZHANG et al, 2007). During this process, the capability to learn while equipped with prior related knowledge and skills is a prerequisite for successful knowledge acquisition (MYKYTYN et al, 1994).…”

“…Prior related knowledge such as fundamental skills, shared language or basic knowledge in scientific and technological area in the other hand presents the true ability of oneself to acquire specific knowledge. Specifically, that capability is allude to the absorptive capacity of individuals that may vary from one to another due to the differences in their professional experience, educational background, and prior working experience (KWOK & GAO, 2006).Theoretically, individuals with refined absorptive capacity will be able to acquire more knowledge since the relationship between absorptive capacity and knowledge acquisition is expected to be present (MURRAY & CHAO, 2005;MYKYTYN et al, 1994;KWOK & GAO, 2006), but the strength of the relationship is yet to be proven. Therefore, this study empirically investigates the direct linkage between individuals' absorptive capacity and knowledge acquisition.…”

The objective of this paper is to investigate the relationship between individual's absorptive capacity and knowledge acquisition behavior among engineers in the electrical and electronic (E&E) sector in Malaysia. The study utilized survey method to collect the data. There were 305 responses for the survey. Partial least square (PLS) properties of structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to measure the relationships between the variables. The study found only partial support in absorptive capacity ability to influence knowledge acquisition behavior.

A B S T R A C TThis paper provides an analysis on information technology (IT) skills portfolio issues from the perspective of firms. The motivation behind this study was our observation that firms are having increasing difficulty in determining their optimal skills portfolio and in acquiring and managing that portfolio in turbulent times. Because a shortage of skilled IT professionals with has been a common theme from the early days of computing, we believe that an analysis of past work using the skills portfolio perspective gives us insights into the gaps where future IS research can illuminate this area. First, the paper reviews 102 IT skills portfolio related papers that appeared in the SIGCPR proceedings between 1985 and 2000. Then the thesis of these papers are summarized and classified according to what skills portfolio firms look for and how they acquire and maintain skills. Particular attention is paid to the gaps in the research to date. Finally, a set of research issues and propositions are given based on the analysis.

Recently, due to continually varying demands and shorter time to market, the existing Project Procurement Management (PPM) processes are incapable of coping up with the pace. There is a need of an agile model to manage procurement projects effectively. This article aims to developing strategies for executing the PPM processes with more agility by leveraging the capabilities and merits of industry 4.0 technologies along with selective Critical Success Factors (CSFs). For improving agility in PPM, this study identifies CSFs from the literature and experts' review, the CSFs were then prioritized based on their significance, followed by establishing relationships and exploring interactions among CSFs using Total Interpretitive Structureal Modelling (TISM) and Fuzzy Cross-Impact Matrix Multiplication Applied to Classification (MIC-MAC). Furthermore, an agile project implementation plan was developed based on the findings of TISM and Fuzzy-MICMAC, which provides a systematic approach for strategically achieving the CSFs. Lastly, strategies were developed to improve agility in key processes of PPM by utilizing the new-age technologies Industry 4.0 like Internet of Things (IOT), Mobility, Business Intelligence, Blockchain, Chatbot, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and other technologies. The strategies and the agile project implementation plan thus developed as an outcome of this research can be leveraged by industries of various domains for improving agility in any of their business processes.
