Chapter Chapter 3 in Augmenting Employee Trust and Cooperation, 2021, pp 23-41 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter reviews the psychological contract literature, covering three main aspects. The first section introduces the psychological contract theory. The theory introduction is followed by a discussion on the effects of reward on cooperation, trust, and the psychological contract. The chapter follows a contemporary view of psychological contract research, first by narrating the growth of interest in the psychological contract, followed by an understanding of its concept and theory. The violation and fulfillment of the psychological contract are observed in the context of job outcomes such as performance, motivation, commitment, and satisfaction, from employee perspectives. Finally, the chapter discusses the salience of promise to rewards in the psychological contract. The effects are evaluated in relation to the moderating effects of locus of control as a personality trait.
