Abstract
Using firm-level data from 131 firms, this study examines the effects of two contingent labor strategies on firm performance in terms of full time employee absenteeism and turnover (i.e., HR outcomes for full time employees at the firm level). Results indicate that employing a strategy of using contingent labor to reduce labor costs is negatively associated with HR outcomes for full time employees at the firm level -i.e., associated with inferior firm performance in terms of full time employee absenteeism and turnover. In addition, high investment HR systems (HIHRS) and employing a strategy of using contingent labor to enhance employment stability for full time employees are complements in terms of their effects on HR outcomes of full time employees at the firm level. Limitations and implications for future research are discussed.
