Abstract

Idiosyncratic deals (i.e., i-deals) have considerable group- and meso-level implications related to social comparisons and organizational justice perceptions. In this chapter, we review the theoretical underpinnings (i.e., social comparison theory and organizational justice theory) and the extant research of i-deals in workgroups. We derive an i-deals lifecycle framework with four distinct but highly related stages: recognition of potential i-deals, negotiation of i-deals, execution of agreed-upon i-deals, and renegotiation of i-deals. We simultaneously consider the relationships of employees who pursue an i-deal with managers and coworkers within the workgroup. Finally, we identify theoretical and practical implications and avenues for future research.
