Nowadays, the 30% of Spanish companies are involved in outsourcing processes (European Company Survey, 2013). Some studies on the Spanish case point to an increase in outsourcing processes in companies from 80% from 2007 to 2014 (López, 2015). According to this study, Spanish businesspersons recognize that the economic offer is the main reason to select a supplier. We understand that outsourcing has become a key tool to reduce costs during the period of economic crisis. However, it is not only an economic issue. Outsourcing has become another tool to make work processes more flexible and transfer the risk of labor conflicts to other organizations.

Outsourcing was already a prominent phenomenon since the early 1980s in the industry worldwide and, specifically, in Spain, especially in the manufacturing sector.
