The classical IT-Outsourcing studies have focused on the factors which a company decides for the IT-Outsourcing strategy. But the main concerns of recent researches are more about the Critical Success Factors determining the Success of the IT-Outsourcing service. Especially, the factors, which enhance the level of Success during and after the implementation of IT-Outsourcing services, are the main field of the recent researches. The study about the Partnership between Outsourcer and Outsourcee are also one of the most frequently researched themes. The result of these studies shows us that the "Reliability" and "Communication" are the main factors for the successful partnership. In this paper we try to find out how the IT-Outsourcing factors (independent variable) have influenced on the Success of IT-Outsourcing strategy (dependent variable) with 4 kinds of parameters. These moderate variables are the 4-types of Partnership by FORT, that is, "Support", "Reliance", "Alignment" and "Alliance".

IT outsourcing studies have centered on the separate effect of formal contract and relational trust on IT outsourcing performance. In addition, previous studies ignored the importance of the relational capability that combine the formal contract and partnership can be able to deliver IT outsourcing effects. In this paper, we propose an IT governance commitment as a mediated role between relational capability and IT outsourcing performance. We collected data from 143 client companies of IT outsourcing and analyzed it using the PLS method. Our findings are revealed as following: At first, relational capability significantly and directly influence IT governance commitment as well as indirectly through formal contract and partnership. Secondly, IT governance commitment mediate between relational capability and IT outsourcing effect, and in turn affect IT outsourcing performance. The results and implications are further discussed.

최근 기업들은 기술적, 경제적, 전략적 요인들을 고려하여 정보시스템 개발에 있어 아웃소싱을 하는 경향이 두드러지고 있다. 그러나 성공적인 아웃소싱을 위하여 아웃소싱은 적절하게 관리되어야 한다. 본 연구는 정보시스템 아웃소싱에서 서비스사와 고객사의 자원과 능력의 차이가 파트너십의 질에 영향을 미치게 되며, 최종적으로 아웃소싱의 성공에 영향을 끼치게 된다는 사실을 검증하였다. 가설 검증을 통하여 고객사의 재무능력이 서비스사의 재무능력보다 높을 때 그리고 서비스사의 IT 자원이 고객사의 IT 자원보다 우수할 때 파트너십의 질이 좋아지는 것이 판명되었다. 또한 파트너십의 질은 아웃소싱의 성공에 영향을 주며 특히 신뢰도가 아웃소싱의 성공에 크게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 파트너십이 IT아웃소싱의 성과에 영향을 미치는 매개변수로 작용할 것인지를 분석하고자 하였다. 분석결과 경제적 요인은 성과와 파트너십에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타나 아웃소싱의 도입이 비용감소라는 목적과는 달리 오히려 비용의 증가라는 문제점을 노출시켰다는 최근의 시장분석 결과가 입증된 것이라 하겠다. 그러나 전략적 요인과 기술적 요인은 아웃소싱의 성과에 직접 영향을 미친다는 것보다는 파트너십과의 작용을 통해서 성과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 고객사와 서비스 제공업체간 관계에 대한 계약상의 내용을 기준으로 처리하는 트랜잭션의 형태보다 고객사와 서비스 제공업체가 서로의 위험과 이익을 공유하며 한정된 계약범위보다 필요시 서로 협력하여 지속적인 관계를 유지해 나가는 파트너십이 중요하게 작용한다는 경향이 반영된 결과라 하겠다. 따라서 성공적인 아웃소싱은 양자가 지속적인 의사소통은 물론 상호간 위험과 이익을 공유하며 필요시 서로 상생할 수 있는 파트너십 관계로의 이상적인 관계관리가 요구된다고 하겠다.

Growth in the outsourcing market signals that firms of all sizes believe outsourcing will ultimately deliver many benefits and conveniences. But there are not many firms satisfied with the results of outsourcing. What is more, previous researches were fragmentary analyses focused on specific variables of outsourcing such as sourcing decisions, partnership rather than comprehensive analysis. Thus, they could not propose general systematic methodologies applicable to the real situation. To solve these problems, we developed an integrated theoretical framework that considered both contract with the hard side and trust with the soft side from a contingency viewpoint and tested this model using 143 data of Korean companies executing outsourcing. In addition, we examined how situational factors(outsourcing task complexity and outsourcing management competence) affects each path in the research model. The results of this study are as follows. First, it was proved the theory that trust is not a substitute for contract but its complement. Previous empirical studies on outsourcing success factors were focused on the establishment of successful partnership on the assumption that trust can replace contract in many situations. According to the results of our empirical analysis, however, contract and trust were in a mutually complementary relation with each other and their emphasis was different. Furthermore, different from previous researches, it was found effective to use trust as a supplementary tool and contract as a main means in outsourcing management strategy. Second, this study provided an integrated view that sees both contract and trust from a contingency viewpoint in theoretically reestablishing the relationship between contract and trust. Previous researches leaned to specific variables or theory-centered fragmentary analysis, but this study proposed a more practical and integrated research model and tested its effectiveness. Based on the results, with the model, decision makers are expected to scrutinize outsourcing situation more closely and to have a practical insight to the situation. Third, it was found that contract mechanism and trust building do not have a direct effect on outsourcing performance but relationship management intensity mediates the effect of contract mechanism and trust building. This is considered significantly meaningful to outsourcing partners who have believed that outsourcing would be successful if a contract is made properly or trust is built. Lastly, the path from trust building to relationship management intensity was moderated by informed buying, as the path coefficients from trust building to relationship management intensity varied by the degree of informed buying competence.
