From the author: The boundaryless organization is a paradigm shift that recognizes the limitations inherent in separating people, tasks, processes, and places, and emphasizes the benefits of moving ideas, information, decisions, talent, and actions where they are most needed (Ashkenas, Ulrich, Jick, & Kerr, 1995). This article proposes that some job analysis techniques and recruitment and selection practices are incongruous with the principles of the boundaryless organization. However, existing worker-oriented approaches to job analysis, recruitment based on person-organization value congruence, and selection based on both skills and traits are consistent with the tenets of the boundaryless organization. Limitations of workforce homogeneity are also discussed. Finally, recommendations for researchers and practitioners are offered.
