Resumen
Esta investigación cualitativa, con la modalidad de estudio de caso, propicia la comprensión teórica y práctica del outsourcing en la administración de recursos humanos. Entre sus objetivos están el análisis conceptual y características del objeto de estudio, identificar sus usos, riesgos y el proceso que conlleva su contratación en algunas empresas costarricenses. El abordaje temático no pretende aprobar o desaprobar el uso del outsourcing como herramienta de gestión empresarial, más bien, procura apoyar la comprensión del público lector sobre este tema. A nivel práctico, la investigación intenta exponer el uso del outsourcing en un contexto real de negocios, evidenciando tres casos particulares en Costa Rica. Esto permitirá ver a través de la perspectiva de usuarios y usuarias cómo funciona el outsourcing, qué actividades son las que han subcontratado y cuáles se prefieren realizar con personal de planta. Entre los hallazgos más significativos del outsourcing están: a) Su ejecución en función de metas específicas de la organización y b) Su implementación bajo la responsabilidad de un equipo integrado por personas internas y externas a la organización que aseguren el buen manejo del proceso y un destacado involucramiento de la alta gerencia y las gerencias de cada una de las áreas relacionadas con el proceso de subcontratación.
This qualitative research, in the form of study cases, leads to the theoretical and practical understanding of the outsourcing in human resource management. Among its objectives are the conceptual analysis and characteristics of the object of study, identifying its uses, risks, and the process involved in some Costa Rican companies hiring. The thematic approach does not intend to approve or disapprove the use of outsourcing as a business management tool, rather, seeks to support the understanding of readers on this topic. On a practical level the investigation tries to expose the use of outsourcing in a real business context, demonstrating three particular cases in Costa Rica. This allows to see through the perspective of the users how the outsourcing is valued, which activities are those that have outsourced and which are preferred to be with plant personnel. Among the most significant findings of outsourcing are: a) Its execution on the basis of specific goals of the organization, and b) its implementation under the responsibility of a team of individuals internal and external to the organization that will ensure the good management of the process and a prominent involvement of senior management and the managers of each of the areas concerned in the process of outsourcing.
