The "psychological contract" is one of today's hottest buzzwords. In this ever
continuing competitive and changing environment rapid organisational and managerial change is
required to enable business and organisations to survive. The objective of this research was to
investigate the extent to which opinions of employees about the various psychological contract
dimensions can influence the overall employment relationship.
A literature survey concerning the psychological contract construct, its dimensions and the
variables affecting the psychological contract was done.
A sample of 394 employees within an Auditing firm was obtained, from which three departments
(Management Consulting, Auditing and Information Systems) employees opinions on the
psychological contract dimensions were compared.
The results of the empirical study indicated that there are comparable differences in
employee's perceptions of the various dimensions of the psychological contract. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.A. (Industrial Psychology)
