21st Century Psychological Contracts

A psychological contract refers to the beliefs held by an individual employee regarding the terms of the exchange agreement between that employee and his/her organization.


8-56

Survey participants reported• Which psychological obligations were most

important,• The extent to which their organization had

fulfilled its obligations,• Their job satisfaction,• Their intent to leave the organization,• Their perceived performance on the job,• Organizational citizenship behaviors.


8-57


The most important psychological contract items include:• opportunities for promotion & advancement,• trust & respect,• open & honest communication,• fair treatment,• challenging & interesting work.


8-58


Psychological contract items with the greatest discrepancy include:• competent management,• open & honest communication,• pay & bonuses tied to performance,• meaningful work,• clear goals & direction.


8-59


Relationship between psychological contract discrepancy scores and dependent measures:• 21 of 32 contract discrepancy scores were

positively correlated to intentions to leave the organization,

• 23 of 32 discrepancy scores were negatively related to job satisfaction,

• 4 of 32 discrepancy scores were negatively correlated to employee performance,

• 2 of 32 discrepancy scores were negatively correlated to organizational citizenship behaviors.


8-60


Managerial implications:• Organizations may focus on fulfilling the

most important psychological contract items (based on the survey information).

• When it has been necessary to make changes in the psychological contract, employers should attempt to “renegotiate” the contract to foster more accurate employee perceptions.


8-61


Managerial implications Cont.:• Fulfillment of psychological contract

obligations is a key way to retain top employees.

• Managers should ensure that employees are aware of organizational attempts to meet employee needs and keep organizational promises.

Outcome 2

Outcome 3

Outcome 1

Outcome 2

Outcome 3

Expectancy: “What are my chances of reaching my goal if I work hard?”

Expectancy: “What are my chances of reaching my goal if I slack off?”

Instrumentality: “What are my chances of getting various outcomes if I achieve my goal?

Valence: “How much do I value these outcomes?”


8-63

Attractiveness of Achieving a Performance Goal

Vj = the attractiveness of

achieving a performance goal,

Ijk = the instrumentality

of outcome j for the attainment of outcome k,

Vk = the valence of

outcome k,

n = number of outcomes

Vj

= n

K = 1(VkIjk)

Where:


8-64

Force to Exert a Level of Effort

Fj = the force to exert a

certain level of effort

Eij = the expectancy of

attaining a performance goal if one exerts a certain level of effort

Vj = the attractiveness of

reaching the performance goal

Fj

= (EijVj)

Where:


Expectancy Theory Application

STEP 1. Valence represents the value placed on outcomes. Calculate the valence for all levels of performance. The equation is:

Performance Valence = [(Instrumentality1 x Valence1) + (I2 x V2) + (I3 x V3) + … (In x Vn)]

STEP 2. Calculate the force on an individual to exert different levels of effort. Force represents the strength of an individual’s intention to respond in a particular manner. The equation is:

Force = the sum of [Expectancy x Performance Valence] for all levels of performance associated with one level of effort.

STEP 3. Compare force values for each performance level.
