The article discusses from a historical and legal perspective the implications of good faith in the employment contract. since roman law, good faith has played an essential role in the foundation of juridical and even pre-juridical exchange relations. in fact, during archaic times the effects of good faith were attributed to certain forms or rituals which, when stripped of their externality, assumed the current objective moral sense. Resolved the historical question, the author begins to clear the concept of good faith in the field of labor contract, for which addresses the many theories that have been elucidated for this effect, in the doctrine and jurisprudence; he ends with the functions of good faith, which are: general principle of law, programmatic, interpreting and integrating functions, and as a limit to the individual rights.
