The aim of this study is threefold, first to explore the extent of outsourcing implementation in Iranian
organizations, second, given contextual factors of the country to identify drivers and barriers of outsourcing
implementation among the investigated organizations and thirdly, to survey if there is any relationship between
outsourcing functions and organizational performance of Iranian organizations, mainly based on a descriptive
analysis. Based on the review of literature 16 main functions and activities which are widely outsourced and
drivers and barriers of outsourcing implementation were identified. A questionnaire was designed and
distributed among Iranian organizations. Based on 197 returned questionnaires the extent of outsourcing for
various functions in the surveyed organizations was determined. Results indicate that most of the sample
organizations realize the importance and the role of outsourcing strategy in gaining and increasing
competitiveness and competitive advantage over their competition which could hopefully lead to the increase
of their profitability. However, the result of the chi-square test cannot confirm that the implementation of
outsourcing is significantly related to greater company success in Iranian industries context.
