This study comes to ascertain the impact of digitalism on supply chain flexibility. A sample consisting of 350 employees was selected from manufacturing companies in the food industry to collect research data. One inclusion criterion was assumed in this research, which is employee knowledge of supply chain processes. Research data was gathered using a questionnaire distributed to the members of the sample. The final number of the questionnaires was 297 with a response rate of 85%. Analyzing data via SmartPLS 3.0, the results indicated that Internet of things (IOT) had a significant effect on supply chain flexibility. Such results confirmed that one dimension of digitalism, which is the Internet of things, has a significant effect on supply chain flexibility.

The study aimed at investigating the effect of e-HRM use on employee flexibility based on Davis’ technology acceptance model. Seven hypotheses were proposed. Two external factors (HR department role and organizational readiness) were linked to e-HRM perceived usefulness and e-HRM ease of use. These two factors linked to the behavioral intention to use e-HRM, which in turn connected to employee flexibility. All these propositions were accepted through analyzing data collected via a questionnaire from a sample consisting of managers and employees of human resource departments in Islamic banks in Jordan. The study contributes to the literature through clarifying and extending the technology acceptance model of e-HRM, as identifying two of the external factors that significantly affect e-HRM perceived usefulness and e-HRM ease of use, as well as, and spreading the model to include employee flexibility.
