The psychological contract is considered a critical construct in
organizational behavior literature because it informs employee
emotions, attitudes, and behaviors in the workplace. Although the
psychological contract has been explored extensively over the last
50 years, numerous theoretical, conceptual, empirical,
methodological, and analytical changes have pushed the field
forward. As such, it is time to take stock and move forward. The
contributors to this Handbook explore in detail this important
component of modern management thinking. This volume's objective is
to challenge and refine the way scholars think about the
psychological contract in the workplace by evaluating current
assumptions embedded in psychological contract research, proposing
new conceptual and theoretical developments, introducing dynamic
psychological contract processes and offering new methodological
and analytical developments. It concludes with a chapter, by
leading researchers, outlining a proposed research agenda to
further our understanding going forward. Academic audiences -
faculty, graduate students - and others working in organizational
behaviour and industrial and organizational psychology will value
the theoretical aspects of this study as well as the new and
exciting methodological propositions and elaborations. And
evidence-based management practitioners will find interest in the
chapters dealing with psychological contract breach and overcoming
the aftermath of breach perceptions as they may inform policy and
interventions. Contributors include: S. Achnak, J. Akkermans, A.
