Background
The importance of intraorganizational mobility of employees (IME) is one of the challenges currently faced by modern organizations, especially in the face of a changing and unpredictable environment. This situation requires organizations to re-code and re-focus on building an employee-friendly environment. One element of this environment may be IME, which, if included in the organization's strategy, gives it an opportunity to use and enhance the potential of its employees.
Research aims
The aim of this paper is to present the relationship between intraorganizational mobility and the intraorganizational mobility strategy of modern organizations. The article also includes a search for answers about the organization of such a strategy in terms of its scope for planning and evaluation. It was assumed that a strategic approach to the use of intraorganizational mobility is linked to the nature of the organization and the existence of such procedures.
Methodology
This study is empirical in nature. The research was conducted in 2020 in 401 Polish organizations (medium and large). The research method included a diagnostic survey using an on-line questionnaire. Persons holding the position of HR Specialist or HR Manager in a given organization were directly responsible for completing the questionnaires.
Findings
The results revealed that only one-third of the organizations surveyed have a strategy in place for intraorganizational mobility. Those organizations that have procedures in place embedded in a strategy are far more likely to make such decisions in a planned manner. Furthermore, it was found that having a strategic approach to intraorganizational mobility is not related to the nature of the organization.
Originality
This article makes a significant contribution to the area of research on the importance of internal employee mobility in an organization and its relation to the organization's strategy.
