Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Previous chapters have reviewed psychological contract research that takes an employee perspective. The next three chapters will review research that has contributed to clarifying the employer perspective on psychological contracts. Taking an organisational perspective, there are several central questions: How can the organisational perspective on psychological contracts be described? How can organisations shape psychological contracts in a positive way? And if individual employees have a psychological contract with their organisation, which people or structures contribute to shaping individual employee's psychological contracts?
