Abstract
Because of the recession of recent years, as an urgent step, firms adopt many strategies to cut costs. Therefore, introducing “work sharing” is suggested to cut costs. To propose “work sharing” which aims to keep temporary employees, it is important to consider the inherent problem that they leave the organization within a short period of time. In this study, we focus on the change of human relationships by temporary employees and information sharing on those relationships. We propose the effective “work sharing” method considering temporary employees. To evaluate the method, we also propose the dynamic network model which represents structural change of the network through information sharing. In our model, nodes and links correspond to employees and human relationships, respectively. We evaluate the effect of cost cutting methods “mass firing of temporary employees” and “work sharing”. The results show that introducing “work sharing” in ascending order of closeness centrality can cut costs with the highest working efficiency.
