Questionnaires were used as the primary data collection instrument. The response rate was 97%, with 199 questionnaires properly filled out of the distributed 205 questionnaires. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis and then presented in tables. The finding of study implies that cost driven outsourcing had positive and statistically insignificant effect on spa performance. And expertise driven outsourcing had negative and statistically insignificant effect on spa performance. Finally, focus driven outsourcing had positive and statistically significant effect on the organizational performance of spa.
