비전형 근로의 상이한 관점: 임시 관리자 = A Different View to Atypical Work: Interim Management

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Since more than two decades, atypical work attracts widespread attention in the academic literature. The debate on the future of work started off with non-standard forms of employment like part-time or temporary work discussing the advantages of increased labour market flexibility as well as the danger of employment insecurity. However, atypical work nowadays constitutes not only blue and white collar work but also managerial forms of work or self-employment. Focussing on the example of Interim Management, a rather new and so far rarely discussed topic in past studies, I look at the characteristics and antecedents of temporary assignments of managers. Based on the German dataset of the Cranfield Poject in International Human Resource Management I argue that Interim-Management can be explained by established organization theory. In particular, transaction cost economics as well as resource-based view help explain the utilization of Interim-Management. Furthermore, I show that Interim-Management constitutes a response to reduced investments in human resources. Companies that have reduced the extent and the costs of training activities during the last years show a higher probability to utilize Interim-Managers.
