The impact of idiosyncratic deals on feelings of psychological contract fulfilment in peers
Theoretically, my research aims to enhance our understanding of the impact of peers on the psychological contract. This will be achieved by integrating psychological contract theory, the Leader-Member exchange model and research into idiosyncratic deals (i-deals). Substantively, I will be examining the balancing act between offering flexibility and maintaining fairness in the workplace.
