Alternative Abstract
In today’s modern-day work environment, understanding how cultural values influence the perception of psychological contract among workers is very crucial. Literature is flooded in the area of psychological contract breach, its formation and response to breach. However, research on the nature and consequences of these contracts is rather lacking. This study seeks to cover that gap by examining how cultural values may lead to the conception of various psychological contracts. Specifically, how each value contributes in determining the psychological contract. Furthermore, it seeks to identify and examine the moderation of perceived organizational support’s influence on the development of these contracts. After testing the laid down notions with a sample of 140 teachers from different native English-speaking countries, I found that there is a significant positive relationship between collectivism and relational contracts. The results of this study also indicated a negatively significant relationship between uncertainty avoidance and transactional contract. Masculinity cultures also significantly correlated with transactional contracts. In relation to the moderation, perceived organizational support moderated the relationship between collectivism relational contract. The relationship between power distance and relational contracts was also moderated by perceived organizational support. However, the direction of moderation was contradicting the proposed effect. This research provided insight into employee’s organizational behavior, specifically exploring their type of psychological contract, in relation to the cultural background as well as their perception of support by helping organizations to derive analytical tools that aids in identifying and managing contracts to ensure successful continuity not turnover .
