Abstract

The relationship between Human Resource [HR] and Technological Services Outsourcing [TSO] is a fundamental issue that needs to be explored in detail in today's human-technology interface. My argument in this article is that outsourcing human resources to technology has led to an ontological shift in the way we regard both humans and technology. It is the objective of this article to explore the implications of such implied shift. Appropriating Heidegger's ontology of the human subject provides a philosophical and normative basis for a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon of outsourcing HR to technology since it allows us to rethink more seriously the destiny of human nature in today's growing technological society. The entire article is a general-case reflection on the paradox of outsourcing HR to technology.
