    9. The Psychological Contract Outlining the unwritten expectations of an employer or an employee. Induction as the first opportunity for this to occur Not the same as employment contracts which are in writing and specify legal obligations and expectations

    10. The Psychological Contract (Cont) Under current industrial relation legislation the notion of psychological contract is weakened. The imbalance of negotiating power frequently reflected in employment contracts and the narrow legalistic interpretation of the employment contract does not give guidance in aspects of the employment relationship

    11. The Learning Curve The relationship between performance and increasing effectiveness over time Expresses the hoped for development of the individual from the induction phase to productivity

    12. Learning Curve cont… Learning (new skills,knowledge etc. )does not proceed steadily or even predictably at times ….there is a cumulative change in behaviour which is observable or measurable. There are periods of accelerated learning and periods where little learning or progress seems to occur(plateaus )
