Abstract

As the use of outsourcing as a staffing strategy continues, it is important to understand how the landscape of human resource management shifts in response to this strategy. Much of the existing outsourcing research in human resource management and organizational behavior has examined individuallevel responses. In this article, we use this research to identify the outsourcing‐related challenges facing HR professionals in both the service provider and client organizations as they strive to attract, motivate, and retain high‐performing employees and explore HR practices that may help achieve organizational goals. Areas in need of additional research are also identified.
