Societal contexts, varying across the EU, are assumed to determine the zone of negotiability, the content, and the state of the psychological contract.

Instruction work book and blueprint methodology Deliverable Nr 3.1

In order to make sure that differences between countries are a result of differences concerning the variables under research and not a result of differences in method, one target of international research is to make sure that there is no variation in method. Therefore standard rules have to be applied for data collection procedure, data checks, construction of scales, indices and new variables, handling of codes and missing data and conventions on how to document basic results which serve as a base for further data analyses of all partners. The main objective of WP 3 therefore is to develop rules to ensure that everybody conducts the same interview and follows the same design (sampling, number of participants etc). >>>

We also assume that both employment contract and the psychological contract have an effect on various organizational outcomes >>>
