Idiosyncratic deals at work examining the perspectives of employees and employers

Abstract

Idiosyncratic deals (i-deals), defined as personalised, nonstandardised agreements negotiated between individual employees and newlinetheir employers (Rousseau et al., 2006), have been identified as an newlineeffective tool for managing diverse employee needs. Although a plethora newlineof research has explored the outcomes of i-deals, existing research on newlinei-deals in an Indian context is limited (e.g., Anand et al., 2021). newlineAdditionally, research has not yet explored how i-deals foster workfamily enrichment, innovative work behaviour among employees, and the newlinemediating mechanisms involved. Furthermore, it remains unclear whether newlinethe impact of i-deals varies across genders. Therefore, this research newlineaddresses these key gaps in the existing literature. newline
