The Content of the Psychological Contract Sample Clauses

The Content of the Psychological Contract. The content of the PC describes the range of tangible and intangible contributions and incentives exchanged between the employee and the organisation. The employee may contribute by working a specific number of hours per day, reaching financial targets, producing relevant products, or reducing waste in time and resources, all of which are tangible. Employees may also contribute to the organisation by utilising their experience and knowledge, being flexible in accepting work responsibilities, finding creative solutions to problems, or staying loyal, which are intangible contributions. Similarly, the organisation can reward the employee through measurable terms such as pay, benefits, and promotions, or through offering sentimental values such as recognition, respect, autonomy, fairness, and support. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx (2005) outline some of the key studies conducted to define the list of items constituting the content of the PC for employees and employers (x.x. Xxxxx, Xxxxxx and Xxxxx, 1994; Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx and Xxxx, 1997). It has been noted that the main shortcoming of these studies rests in their lack of consideration of reciprocity and mutuality. The studies produce disconnected lists of contributions and rewards without specifying which rewards are conditioned by or offered in return for particular contributions. Promises, expectations, and obligations lie at the heart of what constitutes the content of the PC. Dadi (2012) attempts to differentiate between the concepts while acknowledging the subjective nature of each. Promises are usually explicit assurances that one person makes to another. Such promises may be communicated verbally, face to face, or through other communication channels, such as policies or vision and mission statements. Expectations are beliefs that a particular action or event is going to happen in the future. They are usually accompanied by a sense of anticipation or looking forward. Xxxxxx (1980, p.24) highlights that expectations are driven by individuals’ “inner needs, what they have learned from others, traditions and norms”. Obligations represent internally driven feelings of compulsion towards a particular person or action. Of course, the three terms are interrelated. Honest promises result in a sense of obligation on the promiser’s side and expectations on the promisee’s side. While Xxxxxxxx (1995) mainly focused on promises, Dadi (2012) argues that expectations are equally important to the formation of a PC. For the PC to be...
