Submissions

Contingent Work and Institutional Commitment 
Presenter Cardon, Melissa S. Columbia U. msc53@columbia.edu (973) 546-8003 
 The theme of this Academy meeting is 'Change and Development Journeys into a Pluralistic World.' Organizational scholars recognize that change is an ongoing dynamic journey, where individuals and events unfold over time in the development of individual organizations, jobs, and careers, as well as in the viewpoints individuals hold. One such manifestation of increasingly pluralistic organizations lies within the evolving utilization of contingent workers, both in terms of the extent of their use as well as the exact nature of their relationships with the organizations that employ them. Presentations within this symposium strive to shed light on the change and development journeys inherent in the pluralistic world of contingent work. Questions to be addressed include the following: How is the proliferation and professionalization of contingent work forcing a constant re-evaluation of psychological contracts not only for contingent workers, but for traditional workers as well? How are contingent workers in general creating a need for organizational scholars to consider multiple models of commitment and attachment, as well as partial identification of people to multiple organizations? What differences are we discovering within the broad category of 'contingent work', and how do these differences influence our standard models of employer-employee interactions? Finally, as the extent and nature of contingent work continues to change and develop in the future, how might our own research journeys adapt and keep pace with this change?
