Prevailing on a growing fast-paced environment, organizations are becoming more aware of the changing speed, looking for ways to compete with it. HRO allows organizations to focus on core business and receive specialized work, being a trend increasingly targeted of interest among organizations. Each organizational culture has its values and way of interpreting and doing things and when planning HRO, OC remains one essential variable, as an outsourcing approach leads to changes in procedures and organizational values. Not much research has conducted in-depth analyses of the link between OC and HRO choices. This study had two main objectives: to give a context of the HRO and to clarify the perception of OC towards the service. Results came by descriptive analysis and mean comparison analysis. The outcomes most highlighted were: the highest reason to recur to HRO was to comply with a legal obligation and the highest reason to not recur was the preference for internal knowledge development. The highest obstacle when trying to recur to the service was to find specialist organizations and the most outsourced HR activity was Health and Safety at Work. To conclude, there were no significant differences concerning the perception across each OC, according to the use or do not use of HRO. However, the OC that stood out the most was culture of adaptability, whether recurring to HRO or not.
