Understanding employee-employer relationships during bridge employment: A psychological contract perspective

桥梁就业（从职业工作退休后的有偿就业）对个人（经济利益，社会联系感，成就感），雇佣组织（获得经验丰富和熟练的工人）和政府（较低的养老金和福利计划负担）有几个好处。本研究将研究过渡性就业中的雇员-雇主关系，重点关注他们以心理契约的形式对相互义务的看法。对心理契约的理解将使雇佣关系更有可能满足雇员和雇主的需求，并导致更成功的桥梁雇佣关系。

Bridge employment (paid employment after retirement from a career job) has several advantages for the individual (financial benefits, feeling of social connectedness, sense of accomplishment), employing organisations (access to experienced and skilled workers), and the government (lower burden on pension and benefits schemes). The proposed research will study the employee-employer relationship in bridge employment, with a focus on their perceptions of mutual obligationsin form of the psychological contract. An understanding of the psychological contract will make it more likely that the employment relationship fulfils the needs of the employees and employers and leads to a more successful bridge employment relationship.
