The relationship between workers and firms are changing worldwide. Nowhere is this more evident than in the psychological contracts of employment.
This book combines the cross-national perspectives of organizational scholars from thirteen countries to examine how societies differ in the nature of psychological contracts in employment and how global business initiatives are bridging these differences.
