Psychological Contract Breach in a Chinese Context: An Integrative Approach
研究了中国香港员工心理契约违背的前因后果，发现组织变革和过往违背经历会引发心理契约违背，进而导致离职意向、心理退缩行为和公民美德下降，且信任在其中有中介作用。
ABSTRACT This study examined the antecedents and outcomes of psychological contract breach as well as why and how psychological contract breach is related to these outcomes. Respondents were Hong Kong Chinese employees (N=152). Results showed organizational change and history of contract breach to be related to psychological contract breach which, in turn, was related to turnover intentions, psychological withdrawal behaviour, and civic virtue. Further, trust in employer fully mediated the relationship between psychological contract breach and the work outcomes of psychological withdrawal behaviour and civic virtue but partially mediated the psychological contract breach–turnover intentions relationship. Lastly, interactional justice failed to moderate the relationship between psychological contract breach and the work outcomes.
