Abstract

The competitiveness in the global markets, forces companies to incorporate efficient methods, which seek increasing production capacity, reduce time-to-market, reduce costs, increase customer satisfaction and make more efficient the use of resources. This can be done by outsourcing excluding everything out of the core of business. This research identifies variables with more influence in precariousness and quality employment in outsourcing companies in the automotive segment. We wish to identify reason for high worker turnover. These constant changes are costs that affect market competitiveness. A questionnaire is applied to outsourcing company employees of Southeast Coahuila. The outsourcing rate increased 186 percent from 2004 to 2014. According to national statistics 16% of the labor force works in thesecompanies. These numbers illustrate the importance of the activity, that justifies improving in measurement and knowledge of human resource management. The results show a lack of quality and precariousness employment producing the work. There is no written contract indicator and low salaries are received. In Mexico there are regulations for outsourcing companies, but lack clarity regarding how the rights of the workers are safeguarded and protected. In the Mexican case, the current laws shows its limitations.
