Summary: This article investigates the impact of high unemployment and sustained economic crisis on employee perceptions of their employer's psychological contract obligations. Through interviews with Greek white-collar employees, the authors found that the majority of participants believed their employer was exploiting the crisis, demanding more from workers while offering less. However, those who remained with their pre-crisis employer had more positive perceptions. Social comparison and a sense of gratitude also influenced how individuals interpreted their employee-employer obligations in the crisis economy.

Summary: This article utilizes the European Structure of Earnings Survey to analyze the changes in collective bargaining coverage and pay premia in European countries from 2002 to 2018. The study reveals a decline in collective bargaining coverage, leading to a reduction in pay differences. However, there are significant variations in the results. The multivariate analysis shows that centrally bargained agreements are associated with larger pay premia in countries and sectors with more coverage and stronger trade unions. As bargaining power declines over time, so do wage premia. At higher rates of coverage, there can be a spillover effect where wages for all workers increase, thus diminishing the premia.

Summary: Using register data, we have derived a typology of firms based on their usage of non-standard contracts. Our findings show that 58% of firms fall into the core-periphery model, utilizing non-standard contracts differently for low-skilled and high-skilled employees. Other firms, on the other hand, use non-standard contracts in a similar manner across different groups of employees.

Summary: The past two decades have seen a growing interest in psychosocial hazards at work. These hazards have long existed and are present in almost all work settings, but they seem to be becoming more prevalent due to changes in work and society. Various models have been proposed to explain psychosocial hazards, but there are superior alternatives to the dominant model that are more closely aligned with industrial relations. By combining these models or creating a new model based on their strengths, a better understanding of the underlying causes of psychosocial hazards can be achieved, leading to more effective interventions. This paper also discusses industry, NGO, and union interventions, as well as the evolving regulatory framework, in addressing psychosocial hazards.

It shortened unemployment spells through faster job entry and increased exits from the labour force. However, not all unemployed individuals benefited from increased employment opportunities.

Summary: This paper examines the impact of anti-violence HRM and trust in the manager on perceived cynicism and intention to leave among nurses and PCAs in Australian aged care facilities. The findings suggest that anti-violence HRM is positively associated with organizational cynicism, and organizational cynicism mediates the relationship between anti-violence HRM and intention to leave. Additionally, worker trust in the manager moderates the relationship between anti-violence HRM practices and organizational cynicism.

Summary: This study examines the issue of low attendance at union meetings through a psychological lens and replicates a mediation model that demonstrates the link between psychological safety at meetings and meeting attendance through rated meeting effectiveness. The results support the replication, showing that employees who experience more safety at meetings are more likely to rate meetings as effective and consequently indicate higher meeting attendance. Additionally, the study finds that gender, minority status, and English as a Second Language play a moderating role in the mediation model, with stronger mediation effects observed for minority employees and non-native English speakers. The findings have implications for future sampling, modeling, and intervention efforts.
