20.500.12556/RUL-136167 Anticipatory psychological contracts of young labour market entrants a multi-country study with a Confucian work ethic 'twist' We explore institutional and cultural effects on anticipatory psychological contracts (APCs) of young labour market entrants in four countries: China and South Korea (Confucian East Asia) and Poland and Slovenia (Central and Eastern Europe). We identify prevailing APC types and compare country APC scores, applying the concept of a Confucian work ethic. Using matched country samples of 953 undergraduate business students as future labour market entrants, our results challenge the hypothesized prevalence of the transactional APC type within this generational cohort. Overall, the balanced APC type was most desirable for employee obligations, while the relational APC type was most desirable for employer obligations. Expectations regarding personal development (balanced APC) were universally high. However, a Confucian work ethic can be linked to higher performance orientation (balanced APC) in terms of employee obligation and higher loyalty (relational APC) in terms of employer obligation in China and South Korea. We discuss implications for attracting, managing and retaining young talents. company performance investments finance models anticipatory psychological contract confucian work ethic confucian east asia central and eastern europe young labour market entrants poslovanje podjetja investicije finance modeli true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2022-04-14 09:15:47 2022-04-14 09:32:43 2022-09-15 04:13:29 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 371-393 iss. 2/3 Vol. 17 2022 0000-00-00 PostprintKoncna Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2022-02-04 2023-02-05 005.3 1751-6757 10.1504/EJIM.2021.10040186 74087171 Anticipatory_psychological_contracts_of_young_labour_market_entrants.pdf Anticipatory_psychological_contracts_of_young_labour_market_entrants.pdf 1 4A43EE6AE4DA0A99EF14ABF1400E27F0 31feb1a3a9e96ba9e90d496b769ea38a8766a1f99008edf857717e94f7f3c97f af4db2d3-bbc4-11ec-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=155662 https://www.inderscience.com/offer.php?id=120714 0 b957a1d5-bbc4-11ec-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=155663 Ekonomska fakulteta 0 0 0
