The book "Psychological Contracts and Organizations: Understanding Written and Unwritten Agreements" by Pascale de Rozario and Rémi Jardat explores the concept of psychological contracts in organizations, which refer to the unwritten, implicit understandings between employees and employers. These contracts encompass both written and unwritten agreements that shape the relationship between individuals and organizations. The authors highlight that psychological contracts are subjective and vary based on individual perceptions, experiences, and the context in which they are formed. They discuss how these contracts influence employee behavior, expectations, and the overall dynamics within an organization. The book also addresses the limitations of traditional research in social sciences, which often lag behind in understanding the changes in the private sector. It emphasizes the need for more diverse and inclusive research that incorporates perspectives from non-status holders, such as independent workers and private sector managers. The authors argue that current research tends to focus too much on the French context and overlooks the diversity of employment relationships in multinational corporations and emerging categories of workers. Denise M. Rousseau's "The Psychological Contract" is a foundational text in the study of psychological contracts. It is taught in American business schools under the discipline of organizational behavior. The book explains how psychological contracts are formed through a combination of individual, organizational, media, and institutional factors. It discusses different types of contracts, including relational, transactional, balanced, and transitional contracts, and how they affect employee behavior and organizational outcomes. The authors also highlight the importance of understanding the social and political context in which psychological contracts are formed. They argue that organizations should adapt their strategies to align with the evolving nature of these contracts and the changing expectations of employees. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of psychological contracts and their implications for management and organizational behavior.The book "Psychological Contracts and Organizations: Understanding Written and Unwritten Agreements" by Pascale de Rozario and Rémi Jardat explores the concept of psychological contracts in organizations, which refer to the unwritten, implicit understandings between employees and employers.
