In recent years, outsourcing, particularly the non-core outsourcing has been perceived as an essential tool to decrease costs and enhance organizational competitive advantages. This study aims to take parking lots of a southern Taiwan medical center as an example, and explore the differences of managerial efficiency and operational performance such as quality, cost, flexibility and delivery between complete outsourcing and human resource outsourcing. A mixed study combining qualitative and quantitative approaches was conducted. Four executives from general affair department of the hospital were interviewed deeply. A survey using convenient sampling was conducted for the parking lot customers. Totally 110 questionnaires were distributed and 101 effective questionnaires were received, yielding to 91.81% effective response rate. The data was analyzed by factor analysis, independent t-test, and stepwise regression analysis. The results find that among the operational performance measurements, the “marked lines” of the quality dimension and the “delivery” are significantly different between complete outsourcing and human resource outsourcing. “Delivery” is the dimension which shows significant predictive ability of the overall satisfaction. In addition, hospitals have more management responsibilities by using human resource outsourcing, but meanwhile have better control over the quality, and can obtain profits as well. On the contrary, by using complete outsourcing, hospitals can focus mainly on medical businesses. In addition, the results show no differences of quality, cost and flexibility between the two outsourcing strategies. As for delivery dimension, complete outsourcing performs better than human resource outsourcing. Besides, delivery is the critical dimension of overall customer satisfaction. The study first suggests to select outsourcing vendors prudently. Second, customer satisfaction survey should be conducted by hospitals in order to totally understand the outsourcing performance. |
