Business flexibility and employee co‐operation

Abstract

Determines that although organizations want their employees to be loyal and committed to their work — they also want employees who have good collaborative working relationships with all the various strands of company areas of contact. Posits that organizations are better able to move employees from one employment deal to another as transitions occur, leaving employee commitment and trust intact or strengthened. Investigates rhetoric, particularly two types: aspirational rhetoric; and presentational rhetoric — and says that once employees smell rhetoric they may believe that top management has mismanaged the organization.
