Abstract

The Fit and flexibility is now very imperative for an effective strategic human resource management. Theoretical and empirical studies however could not agree on a single framework to accommodate both of its concepts (orthogonal and complimentary) to solve human resource management issues globally. The lack of a framework is a concern because there are still pertinent issues relating to human resource management specifically in Jordan. The purpose of this study was to carry out a conceptual framework to explore the fit and flexibility concept in strategic human resource management in Jordanian Telecommunication companies. This study suggests that emphasis should be placed on strategic flexibility in a dynamic sector like the Jordanian telecommunication sector to improve their productivity, performance and achieve a competitive advantage. Also, Jordanian Telecommunications companies' strategic flexibility will be achieved only if they rely on developing innovative and sustainable HR practices to stay competitive in their rapidly changing and dynamic business environment.
