The Influence of Psychological Contract Breach on Job Satisfaction

Psychological contract represents the implicit assumptions of the employees (or employer) regarding the content of their mutual exchange in addition to those that are specified in the formal employment contract. In the case of breaching it, many negatively consequences could arise. One of them is the lower level of job satisfaction. In the study that has been conducted we tried to find out the answer whether the psychological contract breach in unfavorable economic conditions negatively influences job satisfaction as it has been found in most studies conducted in developed countries. The research method that we used was the case study method. In order to test the hypothesis, we used ANOVA test and linear regression. The results of the study showed that psychological contract breach negatively influences job satisfaction of employees despite the unfavorable economic conditions in which they work.
