Abstract

Psychological contract includes the individual’s perceptions concerning the mutual obligations that exist in the exchange relationaship with the employer, obligations sustained by the reciprocity norms. This paper aims to study the influences of formal contract type, employee’s age, activity sector or gendre upon the perceived degree of fullfilment of psychological contract. The data were collected from 378 participants, aged between 20 an 66 years, 192 working in public sector, 186 in private institutions. The collected data was statistically analyzed aiming to determine potential correlations beween those variablse. The obtained results support the hypothesis that there is no significant relationship between the degree of fulfillment of the psychological contract, length of service or sector of activity, but there is a significant relationship between the degree of fulfillment of the psychological contract and gender. Theoretical and practical implications of those results highlighted by this study are discussed.
