"Wellin's 'Managing the Psychological Contract' is a wonderful how-to manual for contemporary managers, employees and HR professionals. With great examples, it takes the reader through what needs to be done to make good, functional employment relationships and how to change them if need be. A good book and good read."
 
 
Mike Mister, Global Director - Executive Development, Ernst & Young Global Limited:
 
"Managing the Psychological Contract unpicks the jargon and gives real practical examples of how to maximise the impact of the "Personal Deal" for all employees. A timely and important contribution that will be of real help for managers in all industries."
 
 
Adrian Furnham, Professor of Psychology - University College, London:
 
"Michael Wellin has re-framed the concept of the psychological contract into something much easier to grasp, study and measure. The book is very practical, with some fascinating case studies. It is well referenced, well written and well thought through. This is a practical business book written by someone who really understands the issues. A must-buy for business students and managers alike."

Sandi Mann, School of Psychology - University of Central Lancashire:

"At first sight of this book, it did cross my mind to wonder quite how 235 pages could be meaningfully filled on the topic of the psychological contract. It has always seemed to me to be an important, but slightly peripheral topic in the field of employee relations, induction and workplace socialisation. Clearly though, there is plenty of worthwhile material on the area and Wellin is convincing, to me at least, in his efforts to upgrade the notion of the psychological contract to something far more central to organisational success.

Overall, this is an interesting text for managers or HR practitioners who have some vague notion of the psychological contract but have never, perhaps, fully crystallised their thoughts on the whole idea. It is a fairly readable book, though not necessarily good entertainment for a long train journey. But, a must for those who wish to pay more than lip service to the oft-neglected concept of the psychological contract."
