Description: "This book considers the effects of temporary employment contracts on individual employees and organizations. In addition the book explores the impact of 'the psychological contract' on employee attitudes and behaviour. These two aspects are examined in the context of research findings from seven countries: Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the UK and (for a non-European perspective) Israel. The result is an integrated model of the effects of temporary work."--Jacket.
