The social contract of work: Moving beyond the psychological contract
本文深入剖析心理契约概念，指出当前主流文献的四个关键问题，并提出“工作的社会契约”这一新概念，以回归雇佣关系研究的原始焦点。
Abstract This paper develops the critique of psychologisation by going narrow and deep into the analysis of the concept of the psychological contract. In its early incarnation, the psychological contract literature explored key elements at the heart of the employment relationship. However, in the current mainstream psychological contract literature, there are four key problems. The paper shows that these problems match on to the wider problems associated with pyschologisation. The concept of the social contract of work is put forward as a way to return productively to the original focus of the field. The social contract of work is defined as workers' implicit , collective , and socially embedded understanding of the effort bargain at work .
