Assessing psychological contracts: issues, alternatives and measures
梳理了心理契约研究的三种评估方法：内容测量（契约条款）、特征测量（如显性/隐性、静态/动态）和评价测量（履行或违背程度），并讨论了定量与定性评估的优势及未来研究方向。
This article addresses the state-of-the-art of assessment methodologies in the study of psychological contracts. Three types of assessment have been employed in research using a psychological contracts framework. Content measures focus upon the terms of the psychological contract individuals are party to. Feature measures assess the attributes of the psychological contract itself including explicit/implicit and static/dynamic, and at present are a relatively undeveloped form of assessment contract. Evaluation measures are the comparative judgements individuals make in the context of their psychological contract, including the degree to which it has been fulfilled or violated. Implications for future research are described, along with the advantages of both quantitative and qualitative assessments. Copyright © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
