| Abstract: | Four factors affect the use of externalized workers: employment costs, the external environment, organizational size and bureaucratization, and skill requirements. Data from a large sample of employers surveyed by the US Department of Labor were used to test the hypothesis. Analyses showed that each factor affected the use of both temporary workers and independent contractors, however, the effects differed across the two types of workers. Variation in employment needs, bureaucratized employment practices, establishment size, and being part of multiple-site firm had positive effects on the use of independent contractors. The implications of these findings for the study of the employment relationship are discussed. |
