[en] BASIS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTRACT OF HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPANIES’ PROFESSIONALS / [pt] BASES DO CONTRATO PSICOLÓGICO DE PROFISSIONAIS ATUANTES EM EMPRESAS DE ALTA PERFORMANCEDIANA REBELLO NEVES 23 August 2013 (has links)
[pt] Este trabalho tem como objetivo entender as bases do contrato psicológico estabelecidas entre trabalhadores e empresas de alta performance, no atual cenário em que as relações de trabalho estão cada vez mais pautadas em uma dedicação intensa à organização e ao aumento da jornada de trabalho, para muito além das oito horas contratuais. Buscou-se entender o que atrai esses profissionais às empresas consideradas de alta performance; o que essas empresas oferecem aos funcionários, de forma explícita e, principalmente, implícita, que as tornam atraentes para os mesmos. Para fundamentar teoricamente o trabalho foi realizada uma revisão da literatura acerca de temas como o contrato psicológico, sistemas e práticas de trabalho relacionados à alta performance, bem como sobre os impactos positivos e negativos gerados pela alta performance (como, por exemplo, a intensificação do trabalho). Para alcançar os objetivos do trabalho realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa, com entrevistas semi-estruturadas com doze funcionários de empresas privadas cujo modelo de gestão fosse fortemente pautado em valores de alta performance. Os resultados das entrevistas foram analisados à luz da literatura consultada, buscando-se entender quais as bases das relações de troca entre os entrevistados e as empresas nas quais atuam. Os resultados da análise indicam que, embora boa parte dos profissionais aprecie as atividades realizadas em seu trabalho, os custos atrelados à alta performance são consideráveis, impactando na vida pessoal destas pessoas e prejudicando muitas vezes a relação familiar. / [en] This study aims at understanding the basis of the psychological contract between employees and high performance organizations in the current scenario where labor relations are increasingly linked to an intense dedication to the organization and to an increase of the workload far beyond eight o clock contract. We sought to understand what attracts these professionals to companies considered to be high performance ones, what these companies offer to employees, explicitly and, primarily, implicit, that make these organizations attractive to them. The theoretic basis of the work lies on a literature review on topics such as the psychological contract, systems and work practices related to high performance, as well as the positive and negative impacts generated by high performance (eg, intensification of work). To achieve the objectives of the work we carried out a qualitative study with semi-structured interviews with twelve employees of private companies whose management style was strongly based on values of high performance. The results of the interviews were analyzed according to the literature, seeking to understand what the basis of exchange relations between the respondents and the companies in which they operate. The results of the analysis indicate that although most of the professionals enjoy the activities they carry out in their work, the costs linked to high performance are significant, impacting their personal lives and many times affecting the family relationship.

[en] PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTRACT’S BASIS OF PUBLIC WORKERS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY EMPLOYED IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR / [pt] BASES DO CONTRATO PSICOLÓGICO DE FUNCIONÁRIOS DE EMPRESAS PÚBLICAS EGRESSOS DO SETOR PRIVADOBRUNO SIROTHEAU DE ALMEIDA EICHLER 19 November 2013 (has links)
[pt] Nos últimos anos tem sido observado um aumento crescente do interesse
da mão de obra de nível superior no Brasil pelos postos de trabalho oferecidos
pelas entidades públicas. Esse fenômeno reflete tanto a busca dos novos entrantes
do mercado de trabalho por essas oportunidades, quanto uma migração daqueles
que atuavam em empresas privadas e decidem ingressar no setor público. Esse
aumento de interesse pela área pública se justifica pela existência de um grupo de
fatores, considerados importantes pelos empregados, que seriam melhor atendidos
nesse setor. Dentre essas questões, encontram-se a necessidade de gerenciamento
do próprio tempo, remuneração, estabilidade e prestígio. O objetivo desse trabalho
foi compreender os principais pontos que formam a base do contrato psicológico
estabelecido entre uma empresa pública e os seus funcionários que são egressos
de empresas privadas, com vistas a entender melhor o crescente interesse por
essas entidades. Para tal, realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa em que foram
entrevistados nove indivíduos, atuais funcionários de três empresas públicas
federais. Essas pessoas foram entrevistadas com base em um roteiro
semiestruturado com perguntas abertas, o que deu espaço para que cada
participante contribuísse com aquilo que considerasse mais relevante acerca do
tema. Através dessas entrevistas, o pesquisador buscou entender as três etapas do
contrato psicológico desses funcionários, de acordo com o modelo de Côrtes e
Silva (2006). O resultado foi abrangente e trouxe não apenas as expectativas que
contribuíram para a formação inicial do contrato dessas pessoas, mas também os
termos que foram agregados no decorrer da relação com a empresa. / [en] The college graduated brazilian workforce has been showing a growing
interest to occupy positions in Brazil’s public companies. This phenomenon
reflects not only an intention of the labor force newcomers to fill in these
opportunities, but also a migration of professionals that used to act in private
organizations and decided to enter the public sector. This growth in interest for the
public area is explained by the existence of a group of factors, important for the
workers, that would be better accomplished in this sector. Among these factors,
there’s a need from the worker to manage his/her own time, salary, stability and
prestige. This research’s objective was to understand the most important points
that built the psychological contract’s basis established between a public company
and its workers that were previously employed in the private sector, what would
explain the growing interest for these companies. To reach this objective, a
qualitative research was made, in which nine employers from three different
brazilian federal enterprises were interviewed. These interviews were based on a
semi structured questionnaire with wide content questions that intended to give
the interviewee the possibility to cooperate with the subjects that he/she
understood as the most relevant. Through these interviews, the researcher looked
after to understand the three steps that underlie the public worker’s psychological
contract, according to the template designed by Côrtes e Silva (2006). The result
was wide and embraced not only the expectations that involved initial moment of
the contract, but also the terms that have been added through the worker’s
relationship with the company.

[en] SERVING TWO SIRS: CASE STUDIES ABOUT THE PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTRACT AND THE DINAMIC IN WORK RELATIONSHIP OF OUTSOURCED IT PROFESSIONAL / [pt] SERVINDO A DOIS SENHORES: ESTUDOS DE CASO SOBRE O CONTRATO PSICOLÓGICO E A DINÂMICA DAS RELAÇÕES DE TRABALHO DE PROFISSIONAIS DE TI TERCEIRIZADOSANA LUIZA SZUCHMACHER VERISSIMO LOPES 28 August 2006 (has links)
[pt] As constantes mudanças organizacionais provocadas pela
tecnologia da
informação e pelo aumento da competitividade global
implicam em
transformações profundas nas relações de trabalho. Nas
grandes empresas, é clara
a intensificação da prática da terceirização do setor de
TI para empresas
especializadas na prestação de serviços em tecnologia.
Isso faz com que o
profissional de TI terceirizado passe a se relacionar
diretamente com duas
empresas: a contratante e a contratada. O presente estudo
tem como objetivo
analisar como este indivíduo constrói o seu contrato
psicológico com essas
empresas e como ele percebe a sua situação no novo
contexto do mercado de
trabalho. Para tal, foram realizados estudos de caso em
três empresas de atuação
nacional que contratam este tipo de serviço em TI.
Utilizou-se o método de
pesquisa qualitativa com a realização de entrevistas semi-
estruturadas com os
profissionais de TI terceirizados em tais empresas. Nos
resultados observou-se
que o contrato psicológico é moldado por fatores que vão
além dos limites do
vínculo empregatício, sendo influenciado, entre outros
aspectos, pelas forças do
mercado, pelo contexto de vida pessoal, e pelo grau de
identificação do indivíduo
com as duas empresas. / [en] The continuous organizational changes caused by
information technology and
by the increase in global competition entail deep
transformations in work
relationships. The IT sector of large companies are
increasingly resorting to
outsourcing these services from IT specialized firms. It
makes the outsourced IT
professional deal directly with two firms: the contractor
and the contracted. The
present study aims at analyzing how this individual
develops his psychological
contract within these two firms, and how he becomes aware
of his situation in a
new labor market context. To this end, case studies were
carried out in three
companies operating domestically. The qualitative research
method was used for
effecting semi-structured interviews with outsourced IT
professional in such
firms. Results showed that the psychological contract is
molded by factors other
than the limits of the employment contract. For example,
such factors as market
forces, one´s personal life, and the degree of individual
identification with both
firms.

[en] THE HIGH PERFORMANCE WORK SYSTEMS AND THE PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTRACTS AT WORK: WHAT DOES MOTIVATE A CONSULTING OPERATION? / [pt] OS SISTEMAS DE TRABALHO DE ALTO DESEMPENHO (STADS) E OS CONTRATOS PSICOLÓGICOS DE TRABALHO: O QUE MOTIVA UMA OPERAÇÃO DE CONSULTORIA?ALEXANDRE SANTOS FONTINHA 22 February 2007 (has links)
[pt] Os eventos organizacionais dos últimos 10 anos -
outsourcing, downsizing,
reengenharia, aquisições, fusões, etc - estão desafiando
os departamentos de Recursos
Humanos tradicionais e as práticas executivas
estabelecidas desde a metade dos anos de
1970 (John P. Morgan, 2001). Como conseqüência destas
mudanças surgiu, em meados
da década de 1990, uma abordagem inovadora conhecida como
HPWS (High
Performance Work Systems ou Sistemas de Trabalho de Alto
Desempenho): Conjuntos
de práticas de alto desempenho com a finalidade de
selecionar, desenvolver e reter a força
de trabalho, com habilidades, conhecimentos e competências
superiores e motivá-la à
aplicar seu know-how no local de trabalho. Verificou-se,
entretanto, que o resultado da
aplicação destas práticas poderia variar em função: da
indústria, da cultura da
organização, dos valores dos empregados, da estratégia da
empresa, etc. Considerou-se
razoável, então, observar a teoria sobre Contratos
Psicológicos de Trabalho como uma
das ferramentas necessárias à maior compreensão do tema. O
entendimento das bases de
um Contrato Psicológico traz a possibilidade de
compreensão dos acordos implícitos da
relação empregado/empregador, o que pode ajudar no estudo
da influência destes em uma
aplicação tradicional de HPWS. A razão da escolha, como
cenário de estudo, de uma
operação de consultoria é simples: operações de
consultoria são, por sua natureza,
ambientes complexos e possuidores de uma cultura forte e
singular onde a utilização de
HPWS é uma prática bastante conhecida, reunindo, portanto,
todas as variáveis
necessárias à observação do fenômeno. O objetivo principal
desta dissertação, é, portanto,
ratificar que os consultores pesquisados percebem a
aplicação de cada HPWS de maneira
distinta. Esta verificação é metodologicamente fundamental
para que se possa seguir na
busca de possíveis relações entre: a importância que cada
consultor dá aos HPWS, os
tipos predominantes de Contratos Psicológicos e a Cultura
da Organização; objetivos
secundários desta dissertação mas não por isso menos
importantes desde o ponto de vista
do autor. / [en] The organizational events of the last 10 years -
outsourcing, downsizing,
reengineering, acquisitions, joint ventures, etc - are
challenging the traditional HR and
established executive practices since the decade of 1970
(John P. Morgan, 2001). As a
consequence of these changes, an innovative approach was
developed in the middle of
90´s, the HPWS (High Performance Work Systems): a group of
high-performance
practices with the objective of select, develop and retain
the work-force with superior
skills, knowledge and abilities, motivating them to the
use of this know-how in the
workplace. Although, verifying that these implementations
could present different results,
impacted by the industry, the organizational culture and
strategy, etc, was reasonable to
accept the theory about Psychological Contracts at Work as
a necessary instrument to a
deeply comprehension of the subject. To understand the
basis of a Psychological Contract
helps the comprehension of the implicit agreements built
between the employer and the
employee, what can help the study of the influence of
these agreements in a traditional
HPWS implementation. The reason of the choice of a
consulting operation, as the
environment of the survey, is simple: consulting
operations are complex environments
with a strong organizational culture where the utilization
of HPWS is a usual aspect,
resuming all necessary variables to the observation of the
phenomenon. So, the primary
objective of this dissertation is to verify if this
evaluated group perceives the
implementation of each HPWS in a different way. This
verification is, methodologically
speaking, a fundamental step to the search of possible
relationships between: how
important is each HPWS for these consultants, what is the
predominant Psychological
Contract in place and the typology of organizational
culture, all secondary objectives of
this dissertation but, from the point of view of the
author, as important as the primary one.

HR-performance linkages through the lens of social exchangePopaitoon, Patchara January 2011 (has links)
This research explores the linkages between HR practices and business sales performance in a retail bank branch network. Whilst previous research in the last two decades has generally supported the notion that when appropriately designed HR practices can help enhance organizational outcomes, there is still ongoing debate regarding how such practices can actually influence business results. In particular, academics have highlighted the importance of the quality of HR implementation, because this can affect employee day-to-day experiences of and reactions to the HR practices which can impact on variance in the business results. In effect, it is crucial for research to take up the employee lens of the implemented practices and their reactions to these, if the HR-performance relationship is to be clearly understood. This thesis contributes to this research agenda by adopting the social exchange lens to shed light on the nature of the aforementioned relationship. A multidisciplinary and multilevel HR-performance model was employed for conducting empirical tests. Specifically, the empirical model was constructed from the literature in three different fields: strategic human resources management, social exchange theory and psychological contract, with the aim of eliciting the nature of employer-employee exchange relationships in the HR process. Subsequently, the model was tested using the data obtained from 1,286 employees in 149 bank branches and analysed so as to assess the multilevel process through which HR practices can influence business sales performance. The empirical results indicate that an organization can improve branch sales performance by paying careful attention to several processes pertaining to the implementation of HR practices. That is, through the psychological contract process, employees, based on their perceptions of the quality of the received practices (i.e. HR level and breach), reciprocate the organization with their discretionary performance, i.e. commitment attitudes and organizational citizenship behaviours and these outcomes have an impact on business results. Moreover, the findings also point to a boundary condition, whereby the HR-performance relationship can be enhanced by stressing the role of the key constituencies responsible for delivering these practices, namely: senior management and the line manager. That is, respectively, through the affective and relational processes, these agents can have an impact on employee perceptions of HR level and whether there has been a breach of the psychological contract, which in turn influence employee reactions in the causal chain. In summary, having applied the social exchange perspective to elicit the employee interaction with the different quality of HR implementation across bank branches, this study has contributed to the literature by identifying the key processes including psychological contract, relational and affective processes through which HR practices can impact on business sales performance, thereby illustrating how an organization’s human resources can serve as the source of sustained business competitive advantage.

The effect of human resource practices on the psychological contract of academicsYesufu, Lawal January 2016 (has links)
The psychological contract provides a framework for understanding the relationship between employees and employers. The objective of the research was to determine the type of psychological contract developed by higher education academics. In addition, the research objective was to examine the effect of employees’ perception of the human resource practices of their employers on their psychological contract. There have been a number of conceptual and empirical studies on the psychological contract of employees and its relationships to other organisational variables such as human resource practices. However, there has been minimal research on the psychological contracts of academics in higher education and the effect of human resource practices on their psychological contracts. The research was based on a cross-sectional survey that comprised the Psychological Contract Inventory (Rousseau, 2000), the Human Resource Practice Scale (Geringer et al., 2002), and questions on the demographic and job characteristics of academics as employees in the higher education sector in Canada. The research involved 405 academics from Canadian higher education institutions. The response rate was 70%. The research found that employees’ perception of the recruitment and selection, training and development and compensation and benefits HR practices had significant and positive effects on the relational and balanced psychological contracts of academics, thereby building commitment, loyalty and the desire for professional and career development. The training and development HR practices were found to have the strongest positive effect on the relational and balanced types of psychological contracts. The research indicated that the psychological contract theory should be researched using newer and a combination of approaches. The research made several theoretical and practical contributions to the psychological contract theory and human resource management in the higher education sector.

Psychological Contract Fulfilment and Innovative Work Behaviours of Employees in Sport-Based Sbes: The Mediating Role of Organisational CitizenshipBarnhill, Christopher R., Smith, Natalie L. 18 December 2018 (has links)
The current study explored the role of psychological contract fulfilment on innovative work behaviours of employees in sport-based small business enterprises (SBEs). Building on literature from sport and non-sport organisational contexts, a model positing a direct linear relationship between psychological contract fulfilment and innovative work behaviours was proposed. Affective commitment and organisational citizenship behaviours were included in the model as partial mediators. The model was tested using a sample of 216 employees from affiliated minor league baseball franchises. Results supported a model where organisational citizenship fully mediated the relationship between psychological contract fulfilments and innovate work behaviours. Affective commitment was predicted by psychological contract fulfilment but was not significantly related to the other variables in the model.

Explaining the Impact of Work Interference with Family: The Role of Work-Family Psychological Contract and Cultural ValuesXu, Xian 26 June 2008 (has links)
This study aims to further understand the mechanisms through which work interference with family (WIF) influences important attitudinal, behavioral, and well-being outcomes. First, the study expands the content of employees' psychological contract through creating a measure of Work-Family Psychological Contract Breach (WFPCB). The study also examines the mediating role of WFPCB in the relations between WIF and work-related outcomes. Finally, the study explores potential cultural influences by looking at the moderating role of individualism-collectivism on the relations between WIF and WFPCB as well as between WFPCB and the outcomes. Research was carried out in three stages: 1) telephone interviews were conducted to understand the content of work-family psychological contract; 2) the WFPCB measure was piloted; and 3) a final survey study was carried out to test the main hypotheses. Data were collected in both the U.S. and China, resulting in 20 participants each for the interview study, over 60 participants each for the pilot study and over 200 respondents each for the final stage. Support was found in both samples for the link between WIF and WFPCB, and some of the direct paths with the outcomes, especially the attitudinal variables. Full mediation effect of WFPCB was found for organizational commitment in the U.S. and for job satisfaction in China. Evidence for partial mediation was also found for the other attitudinal variables. The moderating role of individualism-collectivism at the individual level was only found in the Chinese sample for organizational commitment, such that the negative relationship between WIF and commitment was stronger when individualism was high. A country comparison of the hypothesized direct effect was posed as research questions. The present study contributes to the psychological contract and work-family literature by introducing the psychological contract theory and shedding some light on the potential mechanism through which work interference with family affects important outcomes such as employee job attitudes and well-being.

Victims' Perspectives of Management's Interventional Efforts Regarding Relational Aggression in the WorkplaceSimmons, Don 01 January 2018 (has links)
Relational aggression (RA) is a social phenomenon that can severely impact organizational profitability and employee productivity. A gap in the literature exists concerning appropriate interventions to manage RA. The purpose of this study was to explore successful interventions that have been used to manage RA. The theoretical framework was informed by psychological contract theory. Data were collected via semistructured face-to-face interviews with 12 victims, and then analyzed using data management, reading and memorization, description, classification, interpretation, and representation. NVivo software was used to organize the data in this study. The research consisted of 3 subquestions addressing the role of written policies in interventions, common practices and reactions of management, and victims' requests for attention to grievance reports. Five key themes emerged. The first and second pertain to the proactive and reactive role of written policies. The third and fourth focus on management's negative and positive reactions in response to grievance reports. The fifth identifies victims' expectations for their grievance reports. Commonly found interventions include impartially listening to both sides, investigation, restoration of damages, social justice, and identifying root causes for RA in the workplace. Implications for positive social change include enhanced employee well-being and performance and increased organizational effectiveness. Results may lead to positive changes by providing useful information that can be implemented by organizations to prevent and address RA, which can improve employee well-being.
