The psychological contract is a complex phenomenon. Psychological contracts hold opposing views from legal contracts on procedures followed in the event of breach of contract. Breach of a legal contract allows the aggrieved party to seek enforcement in court of law. Breach of a psychological contract, however, offers no such recourse, and the aggrieved party may choose only to withhold transactional or relational contributions made to the employer or organisation (Spindler 1994).
Using Organisational Behaviour theories and concepts you have studied, examine the effects of psychological contract breach on employee attitude and behavioural job outcomes such as job satisfaction, intention to quit, organizational support, motivation, organizational citizenship behaviour and employees' job performance.
