| Description: |
`This book is intended for an academic audience of business psychologists and serves as an excellent summary of our understanding of "psychological contracts".... In summary, the book brings together a wide range of theory from social and cognitive psychology, organizational behaviour, organizational learning and the management of change. It contains several powerful chapters, particularly in the early parts of the book. Each framework that is introduced, each reference to supporting theory, is supported by numerous anecdotes and examples.... It allows us to stand back from the loose and multiple references made by several academic fields to the "psychological contract", examine some experimental evidence, and draw useful conclusions about important psychological processes. In the next few years we should expect to see a stream of British and European research aimed at identifying what change is actually taking place in the mechanisms that underpin the psychological contract. In this, Rousseau's text will undoubtedly form a central source of reference and methodology' - The Occupational Psychologist |
| Synopsis: |
The organizational, social and psychological meanings of contracts, both written and unwritten, are the focus of this volume. The author addresses a number of important topics including contract making, interpretation of contracts, contract violations, strategies for changing contracts and contracts evolving from circumstances relevant to the 1990s. In addition, a thought-provoking discussion of how contracts are linked to an organization's strategy and its human resource practices is included. The book concludes with an assessment of societal trends that point to large scale changes in future employment contracts. |
