Abstract: Purpose - This paper is aimed at examining the impact of three types of psychological contracts such as transactional, relational and balanced contract on affective commitment by keeping meaningful work (MFW) as a mediator in this relationship. Design/methodology/approach - The data of 355 employees was collected from the large heavy Indian manufacturing organizations. The mediation path was analyzed through SPSS macro computational tool, i.e. PROCESS. Findings - The result suggests that MFW partially mediates the relationship between all three types of psychological contract and affective commitment. Originality/value - The study adds value to research in organizational behavior and human psychology by providing new insights on employee-employer relationships, MFW, and commitment.
