“…Fourth, Migotti (2003: 84) notes that ‘a sound theory of promising (must) be able to do justice to the myriad ways in which we assume responsibility for the actions of others’. In psychological contracting, many ‘contract makers’ exist who play an important role in making commitments on the organisation's behalf, such as promises, to employees (e.g., managers, Rousseau, 1995: 55).…”

“…In psychological contracting, many ‘contract makers’ exist who play an important role in making commitments on the organisation's behalf, such as promises, to employees (e.g., managers, Rousseau, 1995: 55). To account for this, Migotti (2003) distinguishes between promising on one's own behalf (action-directed promises) and promising on behalf of another (result-directed promises). Action-directed promises relate to ‘promises to x , where x denotes a possible future action of the promisor’ (Migotti, 2003: 83).…”

Delving into promises: Conceptually exploring the beliefs constituting the contemporary psychological contract

The psychological contract is used to examine the dynamics of the employee–employer exchange relationship. The dominant contract conceptualisation is that it is constituted by beliefs about ‘explicit’ and ‘implicit’ promises; however, there is a dearth of conceptual investigation regarding how other research fields understand promising and reconciling this with how the notion has come to be used in psychological contract theory. In particular, the notion of implicit promising remains conceptually and empirically underdeveloped, despite forming a key plank of the contemporary account of the contract. This paper explores these issues by presenting a cross-disciplinary review of promising and applying this to how the notion is used in the contract literature. A conceptual model is also developed to provide avenues to investigate how promise beliefs form in a contract context and their outcomes. Finally, research directions are outlined regarding the roles that beliefs other than promises can play in contract theory.

Promising's Neglected Siblings: Oaths, Vows, and Promissory Obligation

Promises of a customary, interpersonal kind have received no small amount of philosophical attention. Of particular interest has been their capacity to generate moral obligations. This capacity is arguably what distinguishes promises from other, similar phenomena, like communicating a firm intention. But this capacity is common to still other nearby phenomena, such as oaths and vows. These latter phenomena belong to the same family of concepts as promises, but they are structurally and functionally distinct. Taken in their turn, they fill out what I call the ‘breadth criterion’: Theories of promising should cover not only customary, interpersonal promises but also sibling phenomena, including oaths and vows. Accommodating the breadth criterion is not something all theories of promising are positioned to accomplish. I focus on the challenge that the breadth criterion poses for Scanlon's influential expectation view of promising and suggest a normative powers account will fare better.

“…Ta su dna znakovita u ovom kontekstu zato jer je prilično vjerojatno da su pripadala posudama rađe-nima isključivo za svečane prigode, a s konačnom namjerom da njihova dna posluže kao grobni prilozi. 37 Sve u svemu, otvorenim ostaje pitanje jesu li odrasle ženske osobe, osim onih iz vladarskih obitelji, nosile vrpce i dijademe u nekim prigodama svakodnevnog života. Prema mome znanju, likovni spomenici izvan domene grobnog rituala svjedoče isključivo o carskim osobama, bogovima, herojima te personifikacijama i alegorijama.…”

“…The curiosity lies in the fact that such vessels had very probably been originally intended for festive occasions, to be finally turned into grave gifts. 37 All in all, it remains uncertain whether adult women apart from imperial ladies wore hair-bands and diadems in everyday life. As far as my knowledge goes, artistic monuments other than funerary stones testify exclusively to imperial persons, gods, and heroes, as well as personifications and allegories.…”

In grave 134 in the late Roman cemetery of Štrbinci (Đakovo, NE Croatia), dated from the mid 4th to the early 5th century, which held a child of 2-3 years of age, the following grave goods were recovered: 1– a copper alloy bulla; 2 – a copper alloy lunate pendant; 3 – a silver lunate pendant; 4 – a poorly preserved headdress (diadem) composed of three small rectangular plates made of yellowish glass, most probably originally fixed onto a gilded copper alloy band; 5 – 65 beads made of whitish, blue, and green glass; 6 – a copper alloy bracelet; 7 – a pottery jug. The grave was published within the paper on the 2007-2008 campaign of excavations at Štrbinci, but without a detailed discussion of individual grave finds. In this contribution these finds are discussed from the point of view of their apotropaic function and gender role as grave goods. The conclusion reached is that the child was most probably a girl, who had been buried with much care and a pronounced wish to get every protection possible in the otherworld.
