Abstract: Previous researchers have yet to examine the antecedents and consequences of labor relations climate perception. Drawing from social information processing theory, we utilize psychological contract breach (PCB) as a negative environment input that diminishes employees’ perceived harmonious labor relations climate, which in turn affects employee outcomes (task performance, organization identification, and turnover intention); meanwhile, this indirect relationship is moderated by benevolent leadership. The results of the analysis of 284 questionnaires obtained from a multi-time, multi-source field survey supported our proposed moderated mediation model. This research contributes to revealing the critical role of psychological contracts in developing a labor relations climate and expands knowledge and understanding of the labor relations climate.
