Psychological Contracts With Purpose: A Review and Path Forward
Journal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This review advances the understanding of psychological contracts (PCs) that include third‐party beneficiaries and transcend self‐interested goals, which we term “PCs with purpose.” PC theory has challenged the assumption that social exchange relies solely on balanced rewards and inducements, highlighting that individuals may wish to ...

Parametric Study of an Air Charged Franchot Engine with Novel Hot and Cold Isothermalizers
Inventions, 2017 The Stirling engine is an external combustion engine that uses heat exchangers to enhance the addition and removal of energy. This makes the engine power-dense but expensive, less efficient and complicated. In this contribution, the Stirling engine based

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are unlikely to be achieved by 2030, prompting debate about what should follow. Beyond revision, there is a need to critically examine what values and assumptions have shaped how the SDGs are conceptualised and operationalised.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT ‘Hard’ natural sciences have extensively been used to provide evidence that climate change is happening and climate action is needed. If the contribution of our economic activities to disturbing our climate systems is now largely accepted, the way in which we design and operationalise ‘climate action’—how we transition to more sustainable ...

Distributed Stirling Engines for Pipeline Corrosion Protection [PDF]
, 2012 Oil or gas transportation requires the use of very long pipelines from the source of extraction to the main distribution grids. However, due to the properties of the inner fluids and to the differing environmental conditions, these pipelines are ...
