Abstract

Mit dem Outsourcing von Personalfunktionen und -prozessen wird in der Unternehmenspraxis versucht, Kosten- und Flexibilisierungsvorteile zu generieren. Waehrend die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung zu den Determinanten von Outsourcing-Aktivitaeten weit vorangeschritten ist, sind empirische Studien zu den Wirkungen von Outsourcing allerdings noch immer selten. Insbesondere Effekte auf der Mikroebene (z.B. auf Mitarbeiter und/oder Kunden) wurden bislang kaum untersucht. Die vorliegende Studie ergaenzt und erweitert die bisherige Forschung, indem wir untersuchen, wie die Auslagerung von Rekrutierungsaktivitaeten an einen externen Dienstleister (Recruitment Process Outsourcing, RPO) von Bewerbern wahrgenommen und bewertet wird. Bei der Formulierung der Hypothesen stuetzen wir uns auf gerechtigkeitspsychologische sowie signaltheoretische UEberlegungen. Wir fuehren eine experimentelle Untersuchung durch, bei der wir mit Hilfe der Szenariotechnik unterschiedliche Auspraegungsgrade des RPO simulieren und resultierende Einstellungen und Reaktionen von 160 Studierenden erfassen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass mit einem zunehmenden Ausmass von RPO die Bewertung des Bewerbungsprozesses, die Attraktivitaet des Unternehmens und die Intention, ein Stellenangebot anzunehmen, sinken. Wissenschaftliche und praktische Implikationen der Ergebnisse werden diskutiert.
