Contemporary organizations in the capitalist paradigm aim mainly for profit maximization and efficiency. This effort sees organizational processes being increasingly standardized and rationalized. There is a growing tendency to consider the workers as a means for reaching organizational objectives. This trend affects the organizational life of the worker who is aiming at self-fulfillment.

Outsourcing is a threatening phenomenon in organizations and the decision to outsource can be made by management at any time that this might be economically advantageous for the business. This makes outsourcing a harsh instrument and the culmination of organizational rationalism. It is therefore a phenomenon worth researching in the context of the effect of managerial instruments on the individual in contemporary organizations.

'Outsourcing: Who's threatened?' provides answers to the question of what the effects are of the constant threat of outsourcing on works in contemporary organizations. These answers come from an analysis of the stories of the technical in-house ICT staff of the Sociale Verzekeringsbank. The Social Photo Matrix methodology is employed to unveil the mainly hidden information. The theoretical concept of ‘repressive desublimation’ as proposed by Herbert Marcuse is successfully applied in this research, leading to revealing conclusions.
