Ventajas organizacionales, económicas y sociales, derivadas de la aplicación de la subrogación de personal en el sector de la seguridad privada en España

Abstract

Since the end of the last century, the private security sector in Spain has become an important economic and social agent, because of the impact of its turnover on the country's economy and the large number of stable jobs created by the legal concept of subrogation of personnel.

Ventajas organizacionales, económicas y sociales, derivadas de la aplicación de la subrogación de personal en el sector de la seguridad privada en España TRIBUNA -135objective of this work is to answer two basic questions about subrogation of personnel in security companies: on the one hand, to understand the advantages of its application; and on the other hand, to find out if it undermines the commitment of the employees who are subrogated. To comply with this objective, after a review of the scientific literature on organizational commitment and the legal framework that regulates this type of service, the results of an empirical research on a sample of 706 workers from a multinational in the sector are presented. Subsequently, an analysis is made of the advantages provided by this legal figure, to conclude, finally, that it behaves as: a moderating agent of the complexity associated with the transfer of employees between security contractors; an element of labor stability that has no influence on the commitment of the subordinate personnel; and a factor that provides certainty and quality to the service received by the client companies from the security companies. There are important implications that clarify the consequences for the sector if negotiations between employers and unions were to be limited or prevented.
