Organisational justice and psychological contract, Discovering role of motivation within

Abstract

Empirical evidences suggest that Psychological contract fulfillment at an organisation has symbiotic benefits for employer and employee. The current study investigates if Organisation Justice is a predictor of Psychological Contract and further if motivation has a mediating role to play in it. With a sample of 144 employees of North India, evaluated on Organisational Justice Scale (Colquitt, 2001), Psychological Contract Inventory (Rousseau, 2000) and Work Motivation Questionnaire (Agarwal, 1990), the study found that Organisational Justice is a predictor of Psychological Contract, with work motivation being a mediator. The sample showed a high positive correlation between psychological contract and perceived obligation fulfillment of both employer and employee.
