Idiosyncratic deals (i-deals for short) are personalized employment conditions individual workers have negotiated, which could be used as a tool to manage talent resource. Since the concept was put forward by Rousseau (2001), many related researches about I-deals were carried out by scholars. On the basis of the previous literatures, this article reviews on i-deals’ concept, features, contents and the theoretical basis involved in the i-deals, and then sorts out the latest researches from the perspective of both the i-deals’ recipients and the co-workers, exploring the positive and negative dual effects of idiosyncratic deals. We expect this paper could advance the understanding of i-deals and help us manage talent resource more effectively.
