They don't want to be temporaries: similarities between temps and core workers
研究了两家公司中临时工和正式员工对雇佣关系的看法，发现两者相似，但偏好临时工作的临时工更看重经济关系，而偏好正式工作的临时工则与正式员工一样重视社会情感关系。
Abstract This study investigated the impact of employment status (temporary/regular) on the employee–organization relationship in samples from two firms employing both temps ( n = 234) and regular or core ( n = 204) workers. Temps and regular workers held similar beliefs regarding the nature of their employment relationship. However, among those temps for whom temporary work was their preferred status, the employment relationship was less socioemotional and more economic than was the case for other workers. When these temps preferred regular employment, their relationships were high socioemotional and low economic, comparable with that of core workers. A employee–organization relationship high on socioemotional terms was positively related to satisfaction with the organization, an attitude which in turn mediated the relationship between employment relationship and employees' performance and civic virtue behaviors (behaviors as assessed by their supervisors).
