  • 1.  Psychological contract

    Colleagues

    I am currently researching multiple psychological contracts in the
    workplace
    particularly in respect of industrial disputes. Currently much of the
    PC
    literature tends to focus on white collar employees and examines a
    single
    relationship between employee and employer. I suggest that
    relationships
    extend further an am considering whether:

    * That multiple PCs exist - employee to employee, and employee to
    trade union and that in industrial conflict situations, the latter
    become
    more important to the employee
    * That violation of the PC can occur in any of these relationships
    and
    consequentially can impact on worker performance


    Does anyone know of research in this area that I can examine?

    C. Malone,

    See Uhl-Bien, Graen and Scandura, 2000 in Ferris RPHRM for LMX, MMX, TMX,
    OMX, and add union-member exchange.

    Good luck.

    Dear Mr. Malone, Regarding multiple PC's posting, Larwood and Wright had a
    piece in the Journal of Management Inquiry regarding professors that might
    be useful. Ever since Gouldner made the distinction between cosmopolitans
    and locals, it is clear that professors have dual PCs.

    Good luck, Kim Boal
