| dc.description.abstract | Outsourcing is considered as the most important managerial arrangement in the twentieth century by Harvard Business Review. It means that the organization relies on outside resource to perform non-core activities. In the dramatic changes of business environment, the competitive advantage from economics of scale is substituted with the flexibility in resource use. In order to become the real strategic partners, Human resource, the core of the value chain, focuses on the activities related to the organizational development strategy by outsourcing the non-core HR activities to external vendor. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to discuss the concerned factors during the outsourcing decision making, and the use of the outsourcing in term of achieving different stragtic objectives.By empirical method, we are likely to discuss which HR activity is the company in Taiwan tend to outsource and the relation between the degree of HR outsourcing and the company strategic objective.
We have sent 550 questionnaires and got 99 usable samples in the study, and our data is provided by HR executive or the person who is charge of HR outsourcing projects.The mass of usable samples comes from the median or big companies invested from Taiwan. And we adopt hierarchical regression analyses to test the hypotheses.
Our findings are as follows: there are significant relations between the company size and the size of the HR staff. And the study gets the same results in industry and the size of the HR staff the degree of HR outsourcing. Otherwise, except traing, human resource information system (HRIS) and recruiting, it’s not popular to outsource HR activities in Taiwan. The reason should be that the companies are still worried about the divulgence of business secrets and the quality of the service. Furthermore, in all testing HR activities, the degree in outsourcing the execution of training would increase significantly when the stratrgic objective focuses on accessing the enternal expertise. | en_US |
