MANDARINI, Marina Bernardo; ALVES, Amanda Martins    STICCA, Marina Greghi. Outsourcing and impacts for health and work: a systematic review of the literature. []. , 16, 2, pp.143-152. ISSN 1984-6657.  https://doi.org/10.17652/rpot/2016.2.661.

Outsourcing entails various changes in work activities and contexts, and also has impacts on worker health. However, the literature shows that the research conducted in this area focuses mainly on financial and administrative aspects of this process.This systematic review aimed to discuss the scientific production in relation to outsourcing and its impact on the health, family, and work of outsourced professionals. The databases consulted were SciELO, ProQuest, PsycINFO, and Scopus, for the period from 2000 to 2015. In the initial selection phase, 1,754 articles were found, of which 20 met the inclusion criteria.The results showed negative impacts on the health of contract workers. In these studies we identified trigger factors of stress, work-related diseases, risk of accidents, lack of support for health and safety, mental illness, insecurity, and emptiness of meaning attributed to work. Articles were also identified in which precarious working conditions were associated with outsourcing,characterized by differences in salaries and benefits, loss of labor rights, overwork, and lack of training. Based on the review conducted, there was a scarcity of studies that focused on the impacts of the outsourcing process on the health of outsourced professionals, highlighting the need for further discussions on the topic.
