| |  | | | In Brief
Defining psychological contracts as the belief systems of workers and bosses regarding their mutual obligations, scholars of business and organizational psychology look at how such contracts are made and fulfilled in a number of countries. The note that such obligations emerge from promises made as employment arrangements are started and sustained from the hiring process through day-to-day interactions, and can be reinforced by a society's moral standards. The countries described include Australia, the US and Hong Kong, India, Israel, Singapore, Mexico, and Japan. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
| | | | From The Publisher
The relationships between workers and firms are changing worldwide. Nowhere is this more evident than in the psychological contracts of employment--that is, the obligations workers owe to their employer, and vice versa. Psychological Contracts In Employment contains the cross-national perspectives of organizational scholars from 13 countries to examine how societies differ in the nature of psychological contracts in employment and how global business initiatives are bridging these differences.
The author team assembled by Editors Denise Rousseau and René Schalk includes social scientists with deep knowledge of the particular societies they describe, and whose personal scholarship involves psychological contract phenomena locally as well as abroad. Readers of Denise Rousseau’s award-winning book Psychological Contracts in Organizations (Sage, 1995), will welcome the extension of this ground-breaking work into the global arena.
Both the introductory and concluding chapters, written by the editors, provide several themes to structure and frame the book’s content. Every chapter in this volume maintains a clear focus on the importance of a cross-cultural perspective on psychological contracts for today’s managers, social scientists, and public policy makers.
