Employee benefits: A growing source of psychological contract violations
探讨了自1940年代以来员工福利成本激增，但企业为应对产品市场竞争而削减福利，导致员工期望与雇主实践冲突，引发心理契约违背的问题，并讨论了解决思路。
Abstract Since the 1940s, the number of employee benefits provided by employers and costs related to these benefits have increased dramatically. However, in the face of intensified product market competition, more and more organizations are decreasing their benefits packages as part of broader efforts to decrease labor costs. At the same time, many employees have become dependent on employer‐provided benefits to help satisfy basic security needs. This article examines the evolution of this predicament and the associated consequences that are likely to arise as a result of this conflict between worker expectations and employer practices. Ideas for resolution of this employee–employer conflict are also discussed.
