Purpose: Analyze the turnover of employees in an accounting office hired through a recruitment and selection company and through the traditional method. Methodology: The study collected information longitudinally to calculate turnover for the period from July 2017 to June 2020, totaling thirty-six months. In the first 18 months the company chose to carry out the recruitment and selection processes in the traditional way and in the last 18 months the recruitment and selection of employees were outsourced. Data collection for the study was carried out through two questionnaires, one for employees and the other for managers, sent by email. 23 responses were obtained from employees plus the participation of the human resources manager. Results: Turnover rates reduced after the company chose to outsource the recruitment and selection of employees. The 18 months in which the company used the traditional hiring method were compared with the months in which the organization chose to outsource this part. Therefore, there was a 6.61% reduction in turnover rates, therefore it can be concluded that outsourcing the hiring of employees contributed to the reduction of this rate. Contributions of the Study: The study demonstrates the behavior of staff turnover according to the method of hiring employees in an accounting office. High turnover, in addition to being more expensive, also causes a drop in productivity due to the new employee's training period. From a practical point of view, accounting offices can, in addition to maintaining this practice, recommend that their clients also use specialized services for employee selection and recruitment.

Outsourced domestic cleaning service suppliers reconfigure the bipartite employment relationship between employers and domestic workers into a tripartite one between clients (former employers of domestic workers), the management or franchise owners, and domestic employees. While this transformation is attractive to some, outsourcing domestic work involves more than the outsourcing of physical tasks of household cleaning. It also involves the outsourcing of the employment relationship where trust, control and power relations are passed on to the management of the domestic cleaning service suppliers. By taking trust, control and power relations as being reconfigured through outsourcing, this article debates why such reconfiguring might not be convenient for some. By doing this, trust, control and power are conceptualised and how it is perpetuated in a bipartite and tripartite domestic employment relationship. By drawing on 16 in-depth interviews with former clients of a domestic cleaning service supplier in South Africa, this article illustrates that perhaps outsourced domestic services are not an appropriate solution to everyone's domestic cleaning needs and that some clients expect a particular relationship that is not achieved through outsourcing.

Introduction: Changing universities into for profit corporations has taken them to outsourcing as a way to reduce expending. Objectives: This article tries to understand the way in which outsourcing, as a «third space»or «middle space» is built by workers hired by Servicio de Limpieza a su Medida S.A (SELIME), at the University of Costa Rica (UCR). It also describes how these persons experience precarious labor, which is established by contracts, norms and practices between private and public spheres. Method and technique: Our research is based on participant observation, analysis of five minutes of sessions from the Consejo Universitario, nine in depth interviews with cleaning workers, and an interview with the personnel from the Oficina de Servicios Contratados. The interviews focus on the categories working conditions and labor environment. Another interview with the working team from the Vicerrectoría de Administración that is analyzing outsourcing at UCR focused on outsourcing policies and bidding processes at the University. Results: We analyze the way in which a bicephalous and ambiguous structure of precarious forms creates hierarches and affect the bodies of people dedicated to cleaning work as they occupy the bottom step of a normed but arbitrary and hostile organization, especially in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. Conclusions: It is evident the fragmentation of the labor sector in this structure, with which labor control is facilitated. Despite all these, and in contradiction with the humanistic vision at the University, the public institution sustains and even increases outsourcing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El documento analiza la incidencia de los artefactos preventivos en la cultura de seguridad en trabajadores de una faena minera de la región de Valparaíso (Chile). Con una metodología mixta, se revisan las opiniones recogidas en entrevistas y se combinan con las recopiladas de un cuestionario, sobre los artefactos preventivos de los riesgos presentes en las faenas mineras. Se analizan cuatro artefactos: el Comité Paritario de Higiene y Seguridad, la Charla operacional, el Análisis de Riesgo de la Tarea y la Tarjeta Verde. Los resultados indican que todos estos artefactos ejercen gran influencia en la cultura preventiva. Se concluye que existen diferencias, pues el Comité Paritario de Higiene y Seguridad y las Charlas Operacionales tienen efectividad práctica, en tanto el Análisis de Riesgo de la Tarea y la Tarjeta Verde, tienen una efectividad más simbólica que práctica.

Objetivo: analizar la subcontratación laboral en la reforma a la Ley Federal del Trabajo de México, aprobada en abril de 2021, compararla con la de 2012 y reflexionar sobre sus probables efectos en la dinámica laboral. Metodología: se compararon las dos últimas reformas para determinar qué se modificó y qué permanece en relación con la subcontratación laboral. Se revisaron los debates políticos y la dinámica cuantitativa en años recientes. Resultados: en algunos puntos los cambios son significativos; en otros, permanecen las normas anteriores. El giro más importante de la reforma atañe a los mecanismos de garantía para el cumplimiento de la norma. Limitaciones: el poco tiempo transcurrido desde la promulgación de la nueva reforma constituye la principal limitación para el análisis de sus consecuencias. Valor: el análisis y las conclusiones son un aporte novedoso a la discusión académica sobre los efectos de los giros políticos en los fenómenos sociales. Conclusiones: la reforma sobre la subcontratación presenta al mismo tiempo rupturas con la normatividad anterior y continuidad. Las consecuencias preliminares son inciertas. Hay indicios para pensar que la subcontratación laboral disminuirá de forma sustantiva, pero no la precarización.

Innovation policy combines systems and organizations that may intentionally or unintentionally influence innovation. Public Procurement and innovation are associated in two separate ways: public procurement can be used as a tool to stimulate innovation resulting in a new type of product or to open the marketplace for innovation without a specific product. The purpose of this article is to examine the procurement process's emphasis on competition and its effects on innovative products and services. By applying the public procurement and innovation policy goals, the demand can be met as a cost‐effective and value‐adding asset. We argue that public–private partnerships could (and should) leverage the private sector for innovative solutions; however, the current structure of policy and demand does not encourage this relationship.

Este artículo es el resultado de una primera indagación exploratoria y descriptiva sobre la tercerización de servicios de limpieza en la Universidad de Costa Rica. Se basa en análisis documental y de contenidos de redes sociales, así como en observación no participante, para dar cuenta de las características en que se establece y profundiza la precariedad laboral de un sector de la comunidad universitaria que ha sido invisibilizado. Este proceso tiene lugar en el marco de la “modernización” neoliberal de una universidad pública que todavía se dice humanista.

La difusión de la subcontratación ha repercutido en la calidad del empleo, lo que ha generado condiciones de trabajo diferenciales para trabajadores directos y subcontratados. El presente artículo aborda una dimensión específica del empleo: la seguridad laboral de los trabajadores subcontratados. La investigación indaga en los motivos que esgrimen los trabajadores del sector petroquímico en Argentina para explicar la recurrencia de accidentes más graves entre trabajadores subcontratados. A partir de entrevistas realizadas a trabajadores del sector se identificaron cuatro conjuntos de explicaciones: capacitación insuficiente sobre el manejo de riesgos que reciben y falta de concientización sobre los recaudos necesarios; deficiencias en la calidad de los elementos de seguridad utilizados; la propia naturaleza de las actividades externalizadas, y la falta de protección sindical.

This study addresses the historical origin and development of third-sector organizations; the areas and types of social activities performed by social organizations making a contextualization of public policies that address this issue; and the social and economic importance of the third sector. The objective is to analyze the social and economic contributions of the third sector in the execution of projects with public resources and to show that the third sector has consolidated itself as an alternative and response to the crisis of the social welfare state, constituting itself in the provision of services fulfilling its social role before civil society. The methodology used was documental and descriptive analysis, with data collection obtained from documents from bodies such as IBGE and IPEA, through the qualitative method. For this, an approach was carried out by weaving concepts, informing the areas of greatest performance, and showing that the third sector has played a strategic role in acting in areas of public policy in Brazil. The study indicates that the publicprivate partnership made through the execution of public policies by the organizations of the third sector reflected positively on social indicators, showing improvements in the areas of education, health, and social assistance, and reflecting on the growth of the economy, as evidenced by the growth of the Gross Domestic Product, and with the projection of good results and efficiency.

La definición de empresa es un prisma clave desde el cual analizar el fenómeno complejo de la tercerización. El artículo aborda esta problemática desde el caso chileno, donde la definición de empresa ocupa un lugar central en la legislación laboral, con consecuencias sociales y políticas determinantes para el mundo del trabajo. El artículo está organizado en dos secciones. La primera sección analiza el proceso de consolidación y regulación de la tercerización en el país. A partir de esto marco general, la segunda sección aborda más precisamente la definición de empresa y sus alcances a la luz de la realidad contemporánea de la tercerización en Chile.

The evaluation of this perspective is the objective of this work, that is, to evaluate the impacts of outsourcing processes on fixed and variable costs. For this, an econometric model was formulated to capture fixed costs, variables and their changes, from outsourcing, and applied in a higher education institution, located in the southern region of Brazil. The data collected included the total cost, the amount of credits contracted, the semesters in which outsourcing began and the outsourced sectors, considering the period from 1995 to 2017. The results obtained revealed that outsourcing actually led to a reduction in fixed costs and an increase in variable costs. In addition, it was also found that fixed costs were reduced more intensely than the expansion of variable costs, over time, indicating that outsourcing generated cost reduction and that there are learning and management gains in the outsourcing processes.

This article is the result of a first exploratory and descriptive inquiry about cleaning services outsourcing at the University of Costa Rica. It is based on documentary and social network content analyses, and on non-participant observation, to give account of the characteristics in which precarious labor is developed by one sector of the university community that has been made invisible. However, it lives in a space that still calls itself humanistic within the framework of the public university neoliberal “modernization”. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este artículo se propone analizar los efectos de la creciente importación de indumentaria en la producción y el empleo en la Argentina entre 1990 y 2015. Aquí se postula que la idea de que más importaciones implican destrucción de empleos es un tanto simplista por dos razones. En primer lugar, la relación entre ambas variables es compleja y requiere del análisis conjunto de otras variables, especialmente del consumo interno. En segundo lugar, el efecto de las importaciones no ha sido solo cuantitativo (menos empleo) sino también –y en mayor medida– cualitativo (empleo de menor calidad). Ante el explosivo aumento de las importaciones desde 1990, los empresarios locales cerraron las fábricas para dedicarse a generar un mercado de mayor valor agregado (ropa de moda), basado en la subcontratación de talleres clandestinos de costura o ‘maquilas locales’ que emplean a migrantes en condiciones de trabajo forzoso.

Based on statistical data mainly from the Economic Census, this paper analyzes the transformations in micro, small and medium-scale mining resulting from the change of the Mexican economic model initiated at the end of the 20th century and characterized by the liberalization of the economy and the opening to the international market. For micro and small-scale mining this meant its expulsion from metal mining and its confinement to non-metal mining, with significant consequences on employment, outsourcing or wages, being excluded from the most profitable and fastest growing mining of the early 21st century. Meanwhile, medium-scale mining has been acquiring characteristics that increasingly bring it closer to large-scale mining: greater involvement in metal mining, and higher outsourcing, wages, assets and foreign investment.

En desarrollo de la presente investigación, se pretende demostrar que a través la aplicación de la figura de la subcontratación en los contratos de obra celebrados por las entidades estatales en Colombia, puede transgredirse el principio de selección objetiva que se aplica a toda la actividad contractual de la administración. Básicamente los argumentos que sustentan esta postura se circunscriben a: I) la ausencia de regulación de esta figura en el ordenamiento jurídico vigente, lo que abarca las Leyes 80 de 1993, 1150 de 2007, Decreto 1082 de 2015 y demás normas aplicables a la contratación estatal; y, II) la existencia de una postura flexible tanto del Consejo de Estado como de la literatura especializada en torno al particular, mediante la cual se pregona la autonomía e independencia de esta clase de vínculo y la imposibilidad del ente contratante de participar en la escogencia de los subcontratistas.

In this paper we analyze the operation of outsourcing as a way of work organization updated in the current phase of flexible capital accumulation. We were interested in documenting the outstanding role that outsourcing has played in the recruitment of undocumented migrant workers from rural areas of the center of Mexico, for the subsector of residential construction in the state of North Carolina. We conceive the articulation of irregular-outsourcing migration as an enhancer of job precariousness and class fragmentation. The ethnographic method has guided the research that supports what is stated here. The testimonies used to illustrate these aspects are part of a cumulus of interviews conducted in Pahuatlán, Puebla and in Durham and Orange counties, North Carolina. We consider that the originality of our analysis lies in revealing the material and subjective implications of this renewed way of job organization in the lives of undocumented migrant workers.

This research aimed to verify if outsourcing driving services is economically advantageous over the maintenance of car drivers in the condition of federal public servants. The analysis comprised a period of 5 years, from 2013 to 2017, with the two types of employment contracts (public servant and outsourced car driver), at the Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro (UFTM). The case study was based on bibliographical and documentary research to compile the necessary data for the comparison. The results showed that outsourcing involves a reduction of annual costs and that the high costs related to car drivers that are public servants results from the benefits included in the servants' remuneration package, according to Law 8112 (1990). The decision for outsource certain services, however, must also take into consideration the replacement of labor, quality of service, and pensions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar el impacto político, social y económico de las Asociaciones Público Privadas (APP´s) en el sector público de México. La investigación será descriptiva y documental. Se documentarán y describirán las reformas económicas en México desde la década de los noventa a la actualidad, asimismo se realizará un análisis cuantitativo de tipos de proyectos y empresas que dominan el mercado de APP´s en México, datos de endeudamiento público e información cualitativa de los casos más representativos de corrupción política y subcontratación laboral. Dentro de los principales hallazgos encontrados es que las inversiones en el sector público a través de estos esquemas han ganado espacios que corresponde a las funciones públicas, particularmente el Estado mexicano realizar. Esta agenda política de privatización ha tenido consecuencias negativas en México, debido a los múltiples casos de corrupción, subcontratación laboral y endeudamiento público.

Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar el sector del transporte en Brasil y los criterios de subcontratación de transporte comercial a través de un estudio de caso, en una empresa brasileña del sector de cuero que subcontrató su proceso de transporte de distribución. Como resultado de este proceso, la empresa pudo ahorrar 60% de sus costes de transporte y mejoró su nivel de servicio, lo que generó un 3.5% adicional en sus ingresos. Estos resultados de la investigación son relevantes en cuanto a los criterios de subcontratación de transporte, como una decisión estratégica en las operaciones; así, en materia de gestión, este proceso de subcontratación podría hacer el transporte de distribución de la empresa más flexible y ágil.
