This book acknowledges the significant changes in the context and contours of the traditional employee-employer relationship over the last several decades and highlights the emergence of exciting new directions for the study of psychological contracts (PC). New technologies and emergent forms of work are extending ‘the temporal and spatial boundaries’ of employment, such as through the rise of the shared economy and ‘gig’ workers, uptake of virtual work and flexible work arrangements, and the use of off-site co-working spaces. Technology use now permeates many aspects of jobs, supported by artificial intelligence and machine learning technology. Factors that motivate work are also changing as new generations of employees embrace their callings and organizations increasingly recognize their responsibilities to society and to employee wellbeing. These changes are altering the traditional employer-employee relationship and are key motivators of this volume. The chapters in this volume chart new directions for PC research over the next decade by widening the theoretical and methodological lenses used to explore PC processes.This book will be valuable to advanced students, researchers, and practitioners in organizational psychology, organization studies, workplace training and human resource management, as well as those interested in improved performance of people and organizations. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology.

The psychological contract is considered a critical construct in organizational behavior literature because it informs employee emotions, attitudes, and behaviors in the workplace. Although the psychological contract has been explored extensively over the last 50 years, numerous theoretical, conceptual, empirical, methodological, and analytical changes have pushed the field forward. As such, it is time to take stock and move forward. The contributors to this Handbook explore in detail this important component of modern management thinking.This volume's objective is to challenge and refine the way scholars think about the psychological contract in the workplace by evaluating current assumptions embedded in psychological contract research, proposing new conceptual and theoretical developments, introducing dynamic psychological contract processes and offering new methodological and analytical developments. It concludes with a chapter, by leading researchers, outlining a proposed research agenda to further our understanding going forward.Academic audiences - faculty, graduate students - and others working in organizational behaviour and industrial and organizational psychology will value the theoretical aspects of this study as well as the new and exciting methodological propositions and elaborations. And evidence-based management practitioners will find interest in the chapters dealing with psychological contract breach and overcoming the aftermath of breach perceptions as they may inform policy and interventions. Contributors include: S.
