Resource link: Re‐establishing the employment relationship in an era of downsizing
研究了AT&T通过建立内部服务单元Resource Link，利用工资管理员工应对劳动力需求波动，以提升就业稳定性、学习效果和治理水平，并更新心理契约。
Abstract This article examines AT&T's efforts to deal with force management issues by developing Resource Link sm , an internal service unit that uses payroll management employees to help meet the variable work force needs of AT&T. Resource Link is discussed in terms of its contributions to increasing employment stability, improved learning, better governance, and helping to renew the psychological contract between employees and employers. The paper calls for future research in four major areas: skills development, teamwork, reward systems, and career management. It also addresses the potential applicability of this type of program to other firms. © 1995 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
