Abstract:
This analysis examines how employee expectations, work attitudes, and organisational commitment are shaped by the psychological contract (PC). The unspoken agreement between employers and workers that has a big impact on motivation, job happiness, and organisational loyalty is known as the psychological contract. The review highlights the effects of organisational culture, trust, and HR procedures on the psychological contract by synthesising findings from other studies. It highlights the negative effects of unfulfilled expectations, such as decreased job satisfaction, disengagement, and an increased propensity to leave. The study explores how the psychological contract is changing and the difficulties companies have in meeting employee expectations in light of contemporary workplace dynamics, such as remote work and changing generational beliefs. The review concludes by offering insights on how organizations can align their HR strategies with employee expectations to foster a committed and motivated workforce.
