【内容提要】基于对 52 位家政工的深度访谈，研究发现，家政工与家庭雇主的人际关系是基于信任的动态生成逻辑建立的，并在由特殊信任、工作能力、市场交易成本及风险、家政公司提供的服务交织构成的多维动态空间中变化推进。雇佣关系类型和基于此而产生的心理契约，通过影响家政工与家庭雇主之间信任建构的机制，形塑了双方的互动模式。工种在双方人际关系的维系中调节了心理契约的影响。心理契约界定了责任与义务的边界，而这一边界的错配与家政服务市场中的价格机制及供需失衡密切相关。

Between Intimacy and Distance: Employment Relationships and Psychological Contracts in Domestic Service

Abstract: Drawing on in-depth interviews with 52 domestic workers, this study demonstrates that the interpersonal relationships between domestic workers and household employers are underpinned by a dynamic logic grounded in trust. These relationships are structured around a dynamically evolving trust-based logic, which unfolds within a complex, multidimensional framework shaped by the interrelationship of particularized trust, professional expertise, market transaction costs, and associated risks, as well as the institutionalized services offered by domestic service agencies. The nature of the employment relationship, along with the psychological contract it entails, shapes the interactional dynamics between domestic workers and household employers by influencing the mechanisms through which interpersonal trust is constructed. Occupational roles act as moderating variables influencing the effect of psychological contracts in maintaining interpersonal relationships. These psychological contracts delineate the boundaries of rights and obligations; when misaligned, these boundaries become intricately tied to the pricing mechanisms and structural supply-demand imbalances characterizing the domestic labor market.
