I-Deals: Idiosyncratic Terms in Employment Relationships
TLDR
In this article, the authors distinguish functional i-deals from their dysfunctional counterparts and highlight evidence of i-deal in previous organizational research, and outline the implications of these arrangements for research and for managing contemporary employment relationships.Abstract:
Idiosyncratic employment arrangements (i-deals) stand to benefit the individual employee as well as his or her employer. However, unless certain conditions apply, coworkers may respond negatively to these arrangements. We distinguish functional i-deals from their dysfunctional counterparts and highlight evidence of i-deals in previous organizational research. We develop propositions specifying both how ideals are formed and how they impact workers and coworkers. Finally, we outline the implications i-deals have for research and for managing contemporary employment relationships.read more
