Boken anlägger ett brett perspektiv på individen i arbetslivet som spänner över både arbets- och organisationspsykologi. Författarna tar upp de ramar som modernt arbetsliv skapar och hur individen rör sig innanför dessa. De beskriver arbetets roll i livet, samspelet på arbetsplatsen och vilken betydelse det kan ha för individen. Likaså behandlas fenomen som organisationsförändringar, ledarskap och motivation. Författarna har en gedigen erfarenhet av undervisning och forskning inom ämnet vilket gör boken både pedagogiskt upplagd och uppdaterad inom de senaste rönen. Boken är skriven för studerande i psykologi och beteendevetenskapliga utbildningar samt i företagsekonomi med organisationsinriktning. Boken är även lämplig för HR-specialister, chefer och andra med intresse av hur samspelet mellan individ och organisation bidrar till att skapa hållbara arbetsvillkor och effektiva organisationer.

Temporary employment has become a focus of policy debate, theory, and research. The book addresses as its core concern the relationship between temporary employment contracts and employee well-being. It does so within the analytic framework of the psychological contract, and advances theory and knowledge about the psychological contract by exploring it from a variety of perspectives. It also sets the psychological contract within the context of a range of otherpotential influences on work-related well-being including workload, job insecurity, employability, and organizational support. A key aim of the book is to identify the relative importance of these various potential influences on well-being.The book covers seven countries; Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the UK, as well as Israel as a comparator outside Europe. Data were collected from over 5,000 workers in over 200 organizations; and from both permanent and temporary workers as well as from employers.The book''s conclusions are interesting and controversial. The central finding is that contrary to expectations, temporary workers report higher well-being than permanent workers. As expected, a range of factors help to explain variations in work-related well-being and the research highlights the important role of the psychological contract. However, even after taking into account alternative explanations, the significant influence of type of employment contract remains, with temporary workersreporting higher well-being. In addition to this core finding, by exploring several aspects of the psychological contract, and taking into account both employer and employee perspectives, the book sheds new light on the nature and role of the psychological contract. It also raises some challengingpolicy questions and while acknowledging the potentially precarious nature of temporary jobs, highlights the need to consider the increasingly demanding nature of permanent jobs and their effects on the well-being of employees.

This text is the proceedings of the First International Conference on Health Hazards and Challenges in the New Working Life, held January 11-13, 1999, in Stockholm, Sweden. The globalization of the economies has enormous implications for work and labour market structures. Demands for rapid adjustment and flexibility can be perceived as threatening to the employees' need for security and can cause ill health, but it is also important to try to foresee the possible benefits that could result and the constructive adaptations that individuals make. These changing conditions raise new issues and research questions concerning health consequences and people's actions and constructive adaptation. The interdisciplinary research conference in Stockholm on Health Hazards and Challenges in the New Working Life covered areas such as health and social consequences of unemployment, job insecurity, labour market constraints, flexibility in working conditions, and new forms of employment relations and contracts. The proceedings give an overview of the latest research results on these issues, which will be relevant to working life in the next millennium.The book presents a selection of contributions from researchers in psychology, occupational health and sociology and covers three main sections: unemployment and downsizing, flexibilization and stress, and opportunities and constraints in the labour market. It provides a summary and overview of earlier research, together with new findings about adaptation and actions among the unemployed, the effects of new and changing employment contracts upon health, and the polarization of the labour market and its exclusion of vulnerable groups.

The background for the international research conference “Health Hazards and Challenges in the New Working Life” was the emerging questions concerning the health and social effects of the rapid changes in the labour market leading to increasing long-term unemployment, temporary employment and irregular employment contracts. We knew that other countries have had this development at the labour market for a much longer time than Sweden has and it seemed a good idea to invite interested researchers and practitioners to an international seminar to share the relevant research findings and discuss future research needs. Thus, the first international, interdisciplinary research conference on “Health Hazards and Challenges in the New Working Life” was arranged in Stockholm during the last year of the 2nd millennium but was directed towards the foreseen development during the next millennium. We were very pleased that more than 200 participants came to a cold and dark country just after New Year’s Eve, and that it was a truly multidisciplinary setting. It became very obvious that it is necessary for the occupational health and safety research community to reach out to the public health research community as well as to the social and political sciences in order to understand the determinants and to perform comprehensive analyses at several levels in this new labour market situation.

Temporary employment contracts are now commonplace in business. However the move towards such employment structures has a significant, and hitherto little understood impact on 'the psychological contract' between employee and organizations. This book is amongst the first to tackle this problem. With detailed research findings from seven countries: Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the UK and (for a non-European perspective) Israel, it presents an integrated model of the effects of temporary work. The model incorporates key recent trends, including the expansion of non-permanent employment as a persistent form of employment flexibility, the increasing importance of the psychological contract, and the diversity of the European labour market as a result of state legislation. By presenting the results of an overview of the research literature on this contemporary labour market trend this book is of real value to researchers, practitioners and policy makers.

Relationsinriktat ledarskap : och psykologiska kontrakt

Skickas

I relationen mellan arbetsgivare och anställda skapas psykologiska kontrakt som ett oskrivet komplement till det formella anställningskontraktet. Denna bok beskriver hur psykologiska kontrakt utvecklas, förändras, balanseras och vilka följder ett kontraktsbrott kan få. Genom att förstå betydelsen av psykologiska kontrakt kan arbetsgivare utveckla ett medvetet och strategiskt relationsinriktat ledarskap.

Läsaren får ta del av omfattande forskning med utgångspunkt i svenskt arbetsliv som kompletteras med internationella jämförelser. Fallbeskrivningar från svenska arbetsplatser illustrerar vikten av psykologiska kontrakt i olika situationer, exempelvis omorganisationer och nedskärningar.

Boken vänder sig till studerande i organisation och ledarskap, exempelvis i kurser inom ekonomi, personalvetenskap och organisationspsykologi.

Sagt om boken"Äntligen kommer en bra bok om psykologiska kontrakt! Kerstin Isakssons bok ger en mycket rik och omfattande beskrivning av psykologiska kontrakt mellan arbetsgivare och anställd. Isaksson visar på förtjänstfullt sätt att tillitsfulla relationer och rättvisa i organisationen är avgörande för anställningsrelationen. Författaren betonar att löften och åtaganden måste hållas, samtidigt som hon beskriver hur arbetsgivare måste kunna hantera att psykologiska kontrakt ibland behöver revideras, exempelvis som en följd av organisationsförändringar. Jag är övertygad om att boken Relationsinriktat ledarskap och psykologiska kontrakt kommer att hjälpa chefer och HR att utvecklas i sitt arbete med att rekrytera och behålla personal. Kunskap om psykologiska kontrakt är särskilt viktigt i en tid då omorganisationer och organisationers etiska ställningstaganden allt för ofta skapar oro hos medarbetare." Karin Allard, lektor i psykologi och föreståndare för Centrum för Global HRM, Göteborgs universitet.

"Det finns inte mycket skrivet om detta i svensk ledarskapslitteratur, så boken kan rekommenderas för både chefer och medarbetare. Dessutom är den saklig och pedagogiskt formulerad och borde tilltala även studenter inom managementområdet. Faktarutor och sammanfattningar förtydligar den fackbetonade texten". Lena Löfgren Bjerner, lektör, BTJ-häftet nr 17, 2019.
