TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the influence of psychological contract breach on the commitment and behaviors of temporary workers engaged in a multiple agency relationship and found that contract breach by the agency and the client was negatively related to temporary workers' affective commitment toward the respective party.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of psychological contract breach on the commitment and behaviors of temporary workers engaged in a multiple agency relationship. Specifically, it aimed to measure the influence of contract breach by the employing agency and the client organization on temporary workers’ trust and affective commitment to the respective party, and on their adoption of discretionary behaviors at the client site. The study was performed using a sample of agency workers from the banking sector, which was composed of 186 worker–supervisor dyads. The results suggested that contract breach by the agency and the client was negatively related to temporary worker’s affective commitment toward the respective party. This relation was mediated by workers’ trust in each organization. The results also indicated that only commitment toward the client organization influenced the adoption of discretionary behaviors. Understanding of the potential influence of the multiple psychological contracts of temporary workers helps to fully understand the reactions of these workers. As organizations rely heavily on these workers, this study shows how both the client and the agency can foster conditions conducive to the adoption of discretionary behaviors at the client site. This is the first study to provide evidence of the effects of psychological contract breach by each organization that temporary workers associate with on their attitudes and behaviors.

Abstract: The Generalized Vehicle Routing Problem (GVRP) is an extension of the classical Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) in which the vertex set is partitioned into clusters and vehicles must visit exactly one (or at least one) vertex per cluster. The GVRP provides a useful modelling framework for a wide variety of applications. The purpose of this paper is to provide such examples of applications and models. These include the Travelling Salesman with Profits, several VRP extensions, the Windy Routing Problem, and the design of tandem configurations for automated guided vehicles.

TL;DR: This article showed that people experiencing financial dissatisfaction may choose and consume food for its energy value, because money and food are closely related, exchangeable resources, financially dissatisfied people may be motivated to replenish their need for financial resources by consuming caloric resources or food energy.
Abstract: This study shows that people experiencing financial dissatisfaction may choose and consume food for its energy value. Because money and food are closely related, exchangeable resources, financially dissatisfied people may be motivated to replenish their need for financial resources by consuming caloric resources or food energy. Five experiments provide support for this hypothesis across various measures of caloric desire and actual eating behavior. The findings have notable implications for marketing and public policy. Whereas marketing researchers have increasingly investigated the interplay of taste and health considerations in food consumption, this research demonstrates the importance of investigating food energy considerations.
