Abstract:
Psychological contracts have experienced a resurgence of interest from researchers focusing on the ever-changing nature of employer-employee relationships in organizations. Whereas research on the construct has been robust, there has been little effort in abstracting psychological contracts to formal work designs. This article attempts to build from various multi-disciplinary streams of scholarly argument to advance debate on psychological contracts and formal job designs, the intention being ultimately progressing of a new work design model that ties psychological contracts to formal work designs.
