Background of Research

The development of any organization depends on the identification and analysis of the factors that drives the effectiveness of an organization. Most organizations focus on enhancing the levels of employees' commitment due to its central role in determining the productivity of an organization (Brooks, 2006). This achieved by introducing the employees to the objectives, values and norms of the organization which are important for the employee to comprehend the corporate culture of the organization (Magee, 2002). Organization’s management is not only responsible of communicating to the staff of the corporate culture of the organization but also developing an environment that supports learning. Studies have shown that higher levels of organizational culture comprehension by the employees promote higher levels of efficiency and productivity of the employees (Brooks, 2006).

Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION

The fact that the maximum number of years of military service in Britain is 30 years and the recruitment age goes as low as 17 years, individuals end up retiring at a very early age. More so, the members of the military may be forced to leave the military service at an earlier time before even completion of the active duty career years. This results to a complex situation forcing individuals to seek employment continuation in the civilian sector (Baruch & Quick, 2007; Burrell et al., 2003). The situation with the Gurkhas who settle in the UK is even more complicated as they live in the country as non-citizens, forcing them to seek active employment until the required retirement age in order to evade deportation (The Gurkha Welfare Trust, 2014). Therefore, this results to a complex situation for the Gurkhas in selecting a career that will not only be compatible to them as former military personnel, but also as expatriates from a country that has a very different business culture to Britain.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Background information and introduction to the problem

Outsourcing can be defined as contracting out some routine organizational functions that companies do not do well in them to other outside companies that specialize in such functions (Amiti, 2004). The strategy behind outsourcing is to hire out the non­core functions to contractors so that the company can use its staff to focus on the core functions of the business. Outsourcing is a growing business phenomenon that presently involves engaging a separate entity to manage some sections or entire organization, firm or company. According to Freeman and Minnow (2009), outsourcing is the most preferred strategy to business operations because it helps share costs, risks and losses. While many business, organizations and government sectors in the United States have adopted and practiced outsourcing in the operations, the US defense is yet to fully adopt this strategy of modern organizational operations (Burkholder, 2006).
