Instructions This survey was designed to collect information about the attributes of several human resource management activities that occur in most organizations. The intent is to improve our understanding of several facets of these activities and processes that may affect the ease with which they can be provided by a party outside the organization. Below is a more detailed description of each attribute. (a) highly complex- activities and processes with many steps that depend of the context and other factors such as timing, type of employee affected, current organizational performance, etc. (b) repeated many times per year- activities and processes that occur in basically the same form multiple times per year. (c) requires a high degree of firm customization- activities and processes that must be tailored or customized depending on the firm and its industry, size, or other particular attributes. (d) highly interdependent on other business processes- activities and processes that depend on other business process to be performed effectively or if performed poorly negatively affect other business activities or results. (e) requires a high level of subject matter expertise- activities and processes that require a high degree of specialized skill, education or training to be performed, such as drafting complicated legal documents. (f) creates social capital for employee depending on the provider- activities and processes that when delivered by someone inside the firm potentially improve the relationship between the recipient and the provider to an extent that could result in more favorable treatment in the future due better awareness of the recipient’s abilities, track record or other relevant factors. (g) requires a high degree of personalization to the employee- activities or processes that must be tailored or personalized to the employee recipient. This might include activities in which the output is co-created such as the creation of a development plan or individual goals for the quarter. (h) highly suitable for outsourcing- activities and processes that if provides by someone outside the firm are likely to be done either more effectively with no reduction in efficiency or more efficiently with no reduction in effectiveness.
