Ideology and the Economic Social Contract in a Downsizing Environment
结合规范哲学与实证社会科学，研究美国经济社会契约中基于个人主义和社群主义意识形态的差异，并分析裁员背景下人力资源实践如何影响公平感知。
By combining normative philosophy and empirical social science, we craft a research framework for assessing differential expectations embodied in normative conceptions of the economic social contract in the United States. We argue that there are distinct views of such a contract grounded in individualist and communitarian philosophical ideologies. We apply this framework to organizational downsizing, postulating that certain human resource practices, in combination with the respective ideological orientations, will affect perceptions of the justice of downsizing policies.
