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

过渡就业（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），雇用组织（获得经验丰富的熟练工人）和政府（养老金和福利计划的负担较低）有几个好处。本研究将探讨过桥雇用中的雇主与雇主之间的关系，并着重探讨他们对心理契约形式的相互义务的看法。理解心理契约将使雇用关系更有可能满足雇员和雇主的需要，并导致更成功的过渡性雇用关系。

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.
