The study was designed to uncover the potential differences between temporary and permanent employees with respect to workplace deviance tendencies, organizational commitment, organizational trust, and perceived organizational fairness. Because of their ever-growing presence in today’s companies, we focused on temporary employees alongside their permanent counterparts in the same organization. Data pertaining to these variables were collected from both temporary and permanent employees working in light industrial-type organizations (N = 71). Few statistically significant differences between temporary and permanent employees were found. However, significant relationships between organizational commitment, trust, and fairness were revealed among both temporary and permanent employee groups. A more complete understanding of the attitudes and behaviors of the types of workers employed in modern organizations will help leaders manage their workforces in more effective ways.Keywords

Outsourcing has infiltrated the world of human resource management in a major way. Over time the number of organizations skilled in performing specific human resource activities has grown to the point where there is now a general provider or a specialist provider organization that can perform almost any human resource management task or activity. This article aims to identify some of the key elements necessary for successful outsourcing. For outsourcing of human resource management activities to be truly effective, companies must understand what can be outsourced as well as what cannot be outsourced. This article presents a hierarchy that identifies the kinds of activities that lend themselves to outsourcing and then it identifies the characteristics that preclude certain functions from being outsourced. Successful outsourcing of human resource activities also demands that organizations know and understand the advantages and disadvantages of outsourcing. Another prerequisite for successful outsourcing is to understand what actions are necessary to create a successful ongoing relationship between the company doing the outsourcing and the subcontractor or outsourcing firm.Keywords
