Abstract

espanolRESUMEN Esta investigacion tiene como objetivo explorar las motivaciones de los managers para contratar freelancers, una forma de empleo en rapido crecimiento, y las condiciones limite para elegir freelancers para diferentes puestos y tareas dentro de la organizacion. La principal proposicion es que los managers hoy en dia consideran a los freelancers como agentes que aportan valiosos conocimientos y experiencia a la organizacion desde el exterior. Para ello, 255 directivos israelies de diferentes sectores empresariales participaron en dos estudios consecutivos. En el estudio 1, se midio cuantitativamente en diferentes tipos de trabajo y roles organizacionales la percepcion de los gerentes de los freelancers y las principales motivaciones para el empleo de los mismos. El estudio 2 se dirigio a profundizar en la comprension de los atributos personales y profesionales que los managers buscan en el empleo freelance utilizando un enfoque cualitativo. Se comentan las implicaciones de la naturaleza cambiante de estos acuerdos de trabajo como actividad estrategica de la direccion de recursos humanos en un entorno empresarial complejo e inestable. EnglishABSTRACT The current research is set to explore the motivations of managers to hire freelancers, a rapidly growing form of employment, and the boundary conditions for choosing freelancers for different positions and tasks within the organization. The main proposition is that managers today consider freelancers as agents that bring valuable knowledge and expertise into the organization from outside. To that end, 255 Israeli managers from different organizational sectors participated in two consecutive studies. In Study 1, managers' perceptions of freelancers and main motivations for employing freelancers were quantitatively measured against different job types and organizational roles. Study 2 aimed to deepen the understanding of the personal and professional attributes that managers look for in freelancer employment, using a qualitative approach. Implications of the changing nature of employment arrangements as a strategic HRM activity in a complex and unstable business environment are discussed.

自由职业者:一个经理人对这一现象的看法
本研究旨在探讨管理者雇佣自由职业者的动机,这是一种快速增长的就业形式,以及在组织内为不同的职位和任务选择自由职业者的限制条件。主要的建议是,如今的管理者将自由职业者视为从外部为组织带来宝贵知识和经验的代理人。为此,来自不同商业部门的255名以色列管理人员参加了连续两项研究。在研究1中,我们定量测量了不同类型的工作和组织角色对自由职业者经理的感知和雇佣他们的主要动机。第二项研究旨在加深对自由职业经理人在职业生涯中寻求的个人和职业属性的理解,采用定性的方法。本文讨论了在复杂和不稳定的商业环境中,这些劳动协议作为人力资源管理的战略活动的变化性质的影响。目前的研究旨在探讨管理者雇佣自由职业者的动机、快速增长的就业形式以及为组织内不同职位和任务选择自由职业者的边界条件。主要的建议是,今天的管理者将自由职业者视为从外部为组织带来有价值的知识和专业知识的代理人。为此,来自不同组织部门的255名以色列管理人员连续参加了两项研究。在研究1中,管理者对自由职业者的看法和雇佣自由职业者的主要动机是根据不同的工作类型和组织角色进行定量测量的。研究2的目的是利用定性的方法,加深对自由职业中经理人的个人和专业属性的理解。讨论了在复杂和不稳定的商业环境中作为战略性人力资源管理活动的就业安排性质变化的影响。
