We know that positive, fulfilling and satisfying relationships are strong predictors of life satisfaction, psychological health, and physical well-being. This edited volume uses research and theory on the need to belong as a foundation to explore various types of relationships, with an emphasis on the influence of these relationships on employee attitudes, behaviors and well-being. The book considers a wide range of relationships that may affect work attitudes, specifically, supervisory, co-worker, team, customer and non-work relationships. The study of relationships spans many sub-areas within I/O Psychology and Social Psychology, including leadership, supervision, mentoring, work-related social support, work teams, bullying/interpersonal deviance and the work/non work interface.

In seiner umfangreichen Diskussion der Bedeutung von Opportunismus für das strategische Stakeholdermanagement geht Sebastian Pitschner-Finn detailliert darauf ein, wie opportunistisches Verhalten sämtlicher Stakeholder den Unternehmenserfolg gefährdet und auf welche Weise das Ausmaß dieser Gefährdung messbar und somit auch vergleichbar gemacht werden kann. Die große Breite der Diskussion lässt viel diskutierte alternative Verhaltensmuster wie Fairness und Reziprozität nicht außer Acht und ermöglicht so eine besonders kritische Auseinandersetzung mit der typischen Annahme, Opportunismus sei eine allgegenwärtige Bedingung der menschlichen Natur. Im Endergebnis der Analyse stehen allgemeingültige Handlungsempfehlungen, deren Umsetzung anhand der Verbraucher und Shareholder verdeutlicht wird. So zeigt der Autor insbesondere auf, dass die derzeitigen Opportunismusrisiken der privaten Aktionäre womöglich deutlich geringer ausfallen als oft angenommen, woraus sich wiederum passende Empfehlungen für die Maximierung des nachhaltigen Unternehmenserfolgs ergeben.
