Psychological and Implied Contracts in Organizations

Psychological and Implied Contracts in Organizations
--> Unwritten contracts derive from relations between organizations and their members
Implied contracts
- mutual obligations characterizing interactions existing at the level of the relationship
- objective parties: patterns of obligations arising from interactions between parties that become part of the social structure of which the relationship is a part --> constitutional obligations
- inferred by courts and by the general public to have arisen in the context of long term employment
Origins of subjectivity in contracts
- Parties to a contract can have very different perceptions regarding its items
- cognitive limits and different frames of reference make it impossible to focus on every element in such a complex social interaction
- cognitive limits affect the matters addressed in overt promises, and frames of reference affect their interpretation
Psychological contract
- individual beliefs in a reciprocal obligation between the individual and the organization
where one party has paid for or offered a consideration in exchange for a promise that the other party will reciprocate
-
where the individual holding a belief in a psychological contract attaches to this belief assumptions regarding good faith, fair dealing, and trust, treating this contract as part of the larger farbric of the relationship between the parties
- the typical parties: are viewed to be the individual employee and the organization
- objective perceptions: held by individual parties to a relationship
- conceptualization: focus on the employee's experience
- belief: a promise has been made and a consideration offered in exchange for it, binding the parties to some set of reciprocal (tương hỗ qua lại) obligation = unilateral (đơn phương)
