About this title

Synopsis

How can we understand the relationship between employer and employee? What determines the give and take of such relationships and what happens when they go wrong? This book is the first to provide a comprehensive and critical overview of what is now the major way to trying to understand the employment relationship-the concept of the psychological contract.
