Abstract

In many Project driven corporations there are many outsourcing plans. The growth in outsourcing, in particular human resource (HR) outsourcing, has been triggered by the enduring efforts of organizations to reduce costs, to focus on strategic issues, and to improve services to the employees.The existing literature only suggests that among the areas neglected in HR are the partnership quality and the impact of service quality on the success of HR outsourcing.These plans have some aims like miniaturization, achieving to best effectiveness, control and transparency. Research and Development is one of the effective factors on increasing total products and efficiency in defense industry, especially for Middle East countries. Selecting research cooperators is a problem in actual situations such as planning for future R&D. In this article we identify and analyze effective factors on selecting cooperators in research network. We use 33 indexes in 9 dimensions. Our method is factor analysis and we used of Smart PLS software.With using infrastructures equations Our findings accepted all of 33 factors. Moreover these factors had the most effect respectively: quality, finance, obligation,confidence and contractor organization.
