Career Building Features that Help Balanced Deals WorkIt’s all about balancing Risk and Rewards….and
helping people be responsible for own careers.
‣ Voluntary – Offer choices in employment conditions (“terms”) in order to make job valuable. Are important employee goals in life being met?
‣ Market-discipline – “Terms” have value on the external market (not just inside org.) What future opportunities can job duties be converted to?
‣ Build Relational Capital – Cross-functional & inter-firm contacts (“the strength of weak ties”) make people better informed. Provides better awareness of opportunities and organizational needs.
‣ Civility – Safety nets and supports make people less vulnerable. Does employee have valuable resources (“go to hell money”) outside the organization? Revisit career goals periodically and adjust duties/supports.

What’s an I-deal?
‣ Idiosyncratic deal (I-Deal): specific employment terms negotiated by an employee and granted by the employer.
• (either employee or employer can initiated i-deal)
‣ Compensation bundle: Combination of benefits & rewards employers offer workers
• (i-deals are part of this bundle)
‣ Psychological contract: Beliefs individual worker (or employer) holds regarding mutual obligations
• (i-deals create new obligations in Psychological Contract)

Exemplars of I-deals
‣ Seniority’s Perks – veterans with same job title as junior workers typically have different tasks and perks than their more junior counterparts
‣ Stars Get To Customize – high performers with more flexibility in work arrangements than the typical employee.
‣ Remedies for Broken Promises – after a promised promotion fails to come through, employee who deserved it gets her preferred work assignment instead.
‣ Timely Rewards – upon successfully completing a risky and tough assignment, employee bargains to go part-time to finish up his doctorate.

When are Idiosyncratic Deals Seen as Fair?
‣ CHOICE: peers could have made the same choice • Cafeteria plans • I-deal acknowledged to peers
‣ NO COST: peers experience no negative consequences • Deal involves hours/activities others do not want • Peers aren’t interdependent with person with I-Deal
‣ WIN-WIN BENEFITS: peers benefit from another’s special arrangements
• Bragging rights: I-Deal allows employer to retain a “star” performer. • Enhanced employer reputation: “Great Place to Work”
‣ INDIFFERENCE TO TYPES OF RESOURCES INVOLVED: Particular resources matter less to peers than Universal ones
• Particular resources (support, mentoring) • Universal resources (money, goods)
‣ FRAMED AS EXPERIMENT: Special arrangement is presented as a way for employer to innovate

Idiosyncrasy Across Settings
Innovative Settings
LOCATION: New settings (start-ups or newly created units); others with few rules and pro-innovation cultures supportive of workers.
PROCESS: Workers tend to structure their own jobs.
Acquiescence is used more often than negotiation.
Moderately Flexible Settings
LOCATION: Workplaces where local management is itself highly flexible or willing to trust particularly valued worker(s).
PROCESS: Employees operate within a broad zone of acceptance for trusted worker(s).
Both negotiation and acquiescence are used.
Bureaucratic Settings
LOCATION: Highly bureaucratic or restrictive workplaces.
PROCESS: Workers must negotiate around existing rules and regulations, reinterpreting rules and recalibrating expectations.
Negotiation is typically required because workers have limited opportunity to initiate change without approval.
Flexibility

Managing I-deals
‣ SUPPLEMENTS NOT SUBSTITUTES – Broadly available support signals quality of employment relations
‣ EXPERIMENT – Use I-Deals as source of innovation and flexibility
‣ GOOD NEIGHBORS – Require I-Dealer to maintain good relations with coworkers as basis for I-Deal
‣ DON’T MAKE ME ASK – Assess and provide job-related supports (only special needs should require negotiation)
‣ BUILD ORGANIZATIONAL MEMORY – Keep track of I-Deals for future innovation, policy change, and equity.
‣ DON’T REWARD DISLOYALTY – Repeat bargainers erode their value to the firm and antagonize coworkers.

The Future of I-Deals
‣ Basis of Network Organizations
• Looser ties reduce 3rd party comparisons
‣ Demographic Shifts
• Need to retain older workers
‣ Follows the growth of the economy
• Increasing with % critical workers

32
Bottom Line
Idiosyncratic arrangements:
‣ Are increasing
‣ Useful as first step to identity innovations for broader workforce
‣ Can erode trust if used in place of standardized rewards
