This makes employees more clear about their responsibilities in their work and have clear goals and directions to follow.
Employees know the importance of their work and realize that hard work will have a reasonable return, which can stimulate the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of employees. In addition, the contract can also restrain the performance of employees, make them more focused on their work and improve their performance. Therefore, the existence of labor contract promotes the improvement of labor productivity and has a positive impact on the development of enterprises.
