Research On The Violation & Interference Of Psychological Contract

Employee psychological contract refers to the mutual obligation perceived by employees among the reciprocal relationships of employees and organization. It includes two facets: Organization obligations to employees and Employee obligations to organization. Compared to economic contract, psychological contract is also a dominant factor in determining the attitude and obligation of employees towards organization although most of the content of psychological contract are ambiguous and implicit. Psychological contract, therefore, is one of the important research topics in the fields of human resource management and organizational behavior.This study aimed at the relationship between employee's psychological contract violation and their behavior. Firstly, study the effect of employee's psychological contract violation on their behavior. Secondly, study the interaction effect of negative emotion between employee's psychological contract violation and their behavior. Thirdly, study the effect of different attribution on negative emotion. At last, study the function of organizational interference on employee's behavior through project technique.In order to do research , based on existing studies ,we constructed a questionnaire of psychological contract violation and its interference. The sample came from 20 enterprises in Beijing Shenzhen and Wuhan. Using confirmatory factor analysis, path analysis and regression analysis ,we did empirical research based on data came from 433 avail questionnaires.In order to test the rationality and validity of hypothesis, we constructed a structure-equation-model, which include psychological contract violation, psychological contract attribution, negative emotion, organizational interference and employee's behavior, tested the model by investigated data.Empirical research on psychological contract violation indicated that: psychological contract violation had prominent positive relativity with negative emotion, negative emotion had prominent positive relativity with employee's behavior. The attribution of psychological contract had important modulation effect on negative emotion, there was prominent difference level during three facets of attribution. There existed a prominentpositive relativity between professional employee and organizational employee, psychological contract violation was more likely happened on professional employee.Experimental research on psychological contract interference indicated that: organizational interference had important modulation effect on employee's behavior. When employee perceived psychological contract violation, if organization took active and effectual measures to interfere the inner relationship between organization and employee, it could reduce behavior risk of employee, improve employee's loyalty to the organization.The result of control variable research indicated that: psychological contract violation had different level in different region. In this sample, Beijing was most likely perceived psychological contract violation than other regions.
