Tiivistelmä: | Organizations have significantly increased their use of contracting in information systems (IS), hiring contractors to work with permanent professionals. Based on theories of social exchange and social comparison, the authors hypothesize differences in work attitudes, behaviors, and performance across the two groups, and evaluate the authors' hypotheses with a sequential mixed-methods design. The authors' first study surveys contract and permanent professionals on software development teams in a large transportation company. The authors' second study involves in-depth interviews with contract and permanent IS professionals in three organizations. The authors find support for many of the authors' hypotheses but also some surprising results. |
