In recent years, specialized employment relationships, idiosyncratic deals (i-deals), are increasingly becoming a focus of attention.It characterizes non-standard work arrangements raised from negotiations between employees and employer representatives, aimed at providing benefits to both employees and the organization.Organizations negotiate personalized employment arrangements with employees who are expected to make meaningful contributions to organizational success.This study provides a comprehensive review of research conducted over the past decade, with particular attention to the relationship between idiosyncratic deals and job performance.This study is based on 18 past studies from the last decade that focus on i-deals and their impact on job performance.The study summarizes the key findings of the reviewed research on i-deals and employee performance outcomes, focusing on the mediating factors involved, and discusses their theoretical and practical implications.The findings provide strong support for the idea that i-deals influence job performance, including in-role performance and organizational citizenship behavior across various settings.This study contributes to future research by demonstrating the broader relevance of personalized work arrangements to employee performance.
