Background
The technological, economic and social conditions that shape
workplaces and workforces is changing rapidly and profoundly. The political,
administrative and technical approaches that we apply to health and safety
policy must be equal to this pace of change. The workforce to embrace change in
skills, in technology, in materials and in production processes. World is
changing rapidly, if we prepare by learning current working way it will be
worth in future so, I chose the topic “The changing world of work and the
psychological contract” to find more about it. I am going to write about how
the world of work is changing, Health and safety for the employee, changing the
war of job, Migration to get good job, technology – how technology is changing,

2. Changing world of work
As the flow
of time whole world of working is changing rapidly (The way of work, way of
treating employee) this all thing is changing to make better world of work.
Change may be positive or negative, without changing we cannot achieve new
goals and better management. In this word change in technology is making
distance to short. A good change in any industry can built a new image for
company applying new tricks like google is the one of the best company to learn
about the change and flexibility that they have created a new image of working
by breaking the old rules of working. Changes comes from different way (From
feedback of customers, suggestion of any employee or comment of any people) New
work isn’t place we go or learn, we can create change, change in working way
that comes from every people, their thinking makes different. Most of people
thinks that a lazy person cannot do anything but most of lazy person try to
make their work easy and comes with different idea that changes the way of
working. Most of company are based on their employee because they play the main
role in the company. But as the world is changing there are some company that
runs the company without employee but it’s not good idea because the company
without employee can never do anything new or make a progress it all automatic
machines that will do the thing they are made to do. Mostly the in European
country and world of work is changing rapidly. The most fast developing county
Qatar is developing in sector of business that the country is also best place
to work and do the business. In this changing world of work the organization
are being so much flexible and the HR department is trying to understand about
the employee to make their work easier and giving them. How the psychological
contract plays the main role to make a better organization with understanding
the problem of the people in the organization, The HR department to help the
organization to develop. While writing this report I wanted to know more about
the changing world of work the work is changing and making work so effective in
organization. HR manger have many responsibility of understanding about
problems of all people in organization and comment on them or do positive
things for the people in organization
To know more
about it. I asked some of my family and friends. They said now days most of
company are so much flexible, if any employee gets bored the HR department
change the way of working as well as their work there work too sometime. If any
employee are not comfortable to work or they want to change something
3. Health and safety
Now days in big company (likes apple) runs with a large
numbers of employees and there is risk injuries causes serious health damages
that can spoil the whole the employee and their family. So, now day most of the
company and employee are aware of this factor. Now they aspect health coverage
from the company they want to work. “Worker protection must reconcile itself to
radical change” (Europe Agency for safety and
health at work, 2014) this says that worker have right to get
health coverage from the company they are working. HR manager is still not able
to provide Health and safety to people in organization and cause of this also
employees are being not satisfy with their job.
4. Changing the war
of job (Clifton, 2011)
Now there are seven billion people on earth among them five billion are adult and three billion who want to work, about four billion of people want to work full time but only one hundred two million jobs are available. This says sixty percent of people don’t have job. And because of this job for newly graduated students are not able to get proper job, most of newly graduated student are seeking for job. Company always want experience employee they only take the people who have more experience least one or two year. That will affect company will start hiring new people in there company and HR manager will have to fire there old employees without any reason will may make big problem to HR manger.

5. Migration to get good job (From Nepal)
In Nepal 400,000 young people enter labor market as
estimated. Many of them goes to foreign countries for job. Mainly young
migrants are supported to go overseas for employment as they are not able get
good amount of salary and good working way. Many of them have both formal and
informal information about migrating to overseas for better job and get good
amount of salary and to learn new way of working. Social inclusion to youths
help them positive attitudes among migrants and native youth which brings
better knowledge in marginalization and discrimination among the people. So
they can be aware of the responsibilities and opportunities of migration. This
is causing decrease in amount of labor in Nepal and increasing demand of labor.
As deep I wanted to know the why people are interested to go
aboard instead of working in on country most of they said they are not able to
get job with good working hour and the salary of the labor are so that cannot
run their family life so in search of better working hour and better salary
they want to go abroad and work there.
I talked with some of person who is currently working abroad,
with following question
a. Why you
wanted to work abroad instead of working in our own country?
They said, working
style is completely different from our country, they are well trained in every
field we can learn so much from them, from skilled manpower they can learn more
things to in effective and in well manner. So, on for better experience and
develop career opportunity like Europe is the best place to work and study
In Nepal so many
factors people cannot work well cause of politics, strikes.
6. Technology
As new technology is arriving it causing rapid change in
world of work. Innovations have changed the whole world of working, in 19th
century most of the company use to keep files, data in hard copy form but now
technology has changed the whole way of data keeping to publishing yearly or
statement of the company. In hospital sector technology is improving the way of
working and also caring the patient. New technology is making every work
flexible and decreasing the time of work. New innovation’s in technology now
days and in future is changing the whole world of work easy and comfortable.
In the changing world of technology now days the technology
like social networking sites like Facebook is best way to advertise any product
instead of advertise in any newspaper or on any TV channel because in Facebook
any company can directly make a good contact with costumers.
While I was talking about the Facebook to the people, they
said it one of the basic thing to be updated (News, company, or Discovery) but
in most of their office Facebook has been banded. Because most people use to
spend their time on Facebook at working site.
7. Psychological contract
According to (Guest , 2007) , a psychological contract with the
perception of both parties to the employment relationship, it implies the
unwritten set contract, expectation every time between every members of an
organization to manager. Psychological contract can be define as the
expectation from each other in organization. Being HR manager it’s important to
know about our employee to motivate them for their good work and suggest to
improve if employee is doing wrong. Manager should know their employee
problems, flexibility they want when they are in trouble or out city. A good
psychological can’t boost the performance but it make strong relationship
between the members of organization, bad psychological contract between the
employees can break any organization because money cannot satisfy every member
because they always have different expectation form the organization, it also
de-motivates the employee, fulfilling psychological contract creates the
feeling of being valued, leads to positive outcomes, increases the trust for
employee.
Researchers have categorized psychological contract into two
forms: Transactional and relational contract (Shampiro, 2004) Relational contract
such term terms as loyalty and stability. Employee relation contract make them
to work more as over time if they are being paid or not doesn’t matter, the
change in organization according to the employee demand a necessary. Relation include
not only about the job it should be in term of career, training, development,
job security and support in personal problems. At another side of relational
contract absorb more of the risk from economic downturns. Workers favor
employers who offer them a relational psychological contract as opposed to the
more limited transactional type. In turn, employers are likely to offer
relational contracts to particularly valued workers than to workers who
contribute less.
Transactional psychological contract are specific, operating
transactional obligation in the in the psychological contract, In addition, (Guest , 2007) observes that
transactional psychological contracts include such terms as narrow duties and a
limited r short term duration. Workers with transactional contracts tend to
adhere to its specific terms and to seek employment elsewhere when conditions
change or when employers fail to live up to their agreement. Transactional
contracts shift the risk associated with economic uncertainties from the
employer to workers.
8. Critical self-reflection
While working on this report I read many article, news,
Magazine and talked with people to know more about changing world of work and
psychological contract. Learning about the changing world of work and
psychological contract also made change in my life and they of my thinking of
any organization as well as in my personal life and in my college. Being HR
manager we have to understand about all people in organization. It’s like making
good friend circle in organization and discuss about our all problems to each
other and solving it together. Change is for good to do any old work in more
effective way, if we are not able to do any work we need to change the way of
our working to get succeeded the cycle of
changing world of work will never stop there is always better way to the
work then current way. So I started the making change in life to make it better
than before. “People are migrating to other country for
better work and salary” I will not say them to not go abroad and work,
Better go have good knowledge and please come back to our own country because
our country need skilled person like you who have lots of experience to make
our own country better.
The best thing I learned from this report writing is the
psychological contract in my life. It helped me to understand about the feeling
of other person and their nature, how to motivate people around me. I have done
lots of improvement in my personal life and in my college life. As the world is
changing. We all are also changing in the flow of world of work is changing.
Change is necessary in every people and world of work without out making change
we cannot succeed in our life or make new goals. I learned to how to write a
report in effective way as well as I learned more about Microsoft word their
uses. The interesting part what I learned is about references. If I write any
report by myself working so hard, researching on it. If anyone else copies my
word and get credit on my report will be so bad for me. So giving the credit to
the person who have done wonderful work to know about any topic we must give
the credit to them if we are coping there lines. This was my second research on
this topic at first I felt so much boring making research and writing report in
it but now days I feel so glad to research on any topic and to know more about
the topic am writing, it’s not the process of reading and writing on the topic,
it process of knowing and making questions about the topic and knowing more
about new things and our history. I am made lots of improvement in writing
report and am going to make more improvement in future too.
