`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
Recipient of the George Terry Book Award sponsored by the Academy of Management "The incredible number of specific illustrations embedded in this text is a great asset. The book will be a good read for a potentially wide academic audience of professors and students (especially in psychology and business schools), anybody interested in contracts in the nonlegal sense, and for ′thinking managers′ and practitioners. Psychological Contracts in Organizations will become a standard reference in the organizational sciences by 1997." --Richard Guzzo, University of Maryland, College Park This unique book examines the organizational, social, and psychological meaning of contracts, written and unwritten, in organizations. The author addresses a multitude of important topics, including contract making, interpretation of contracts, contracts that are emerging due to the turmoil and economic forces in the 1990s, contract violations, and strategies for changing contracts. In addition, this volume includes a thought-provoking discussion of how contracts are linked to an organization′s strategy and its human resource practices. This outstanding volume concludes with an assessment of societal trends that point to large-scale changes in future employment contracts. Psychological Contracts in Organizations will capture the interest of advanced undergraduate and graduate students, scholars, managers, and researchers in the areas of organizational behavior, management, organizational psychology, human relations, industrial relations, law, and socioeconomics.
