Online Organization

Abstract

Competitiveness has forced organizations to improve and adapt faster allowing the most capable individuals to fulfil organizational positions. Despite the need to overcome difficulties in resource management, the Portuguese Air Force still uses a method centered in hierarchical structure and career progress. Competencies within job positions are not yet typified, meaning that the individual that occupies a certain job position may not be the most capable. To solve this problem, this article studies an online organization model that represents the concepts of organizational entities, job positions, resource management and human resource management through competency management. The model describes each concept individually and the relationships between components. If validated and implemented, the model will allow an improvement in human resource management effectiveness, and efficiency.
