Abstract

Over the past three decades, psychological contract (PC) has elicited an increasing research attention in construction management (CM). However, a research trend of PC application in CM is unavailable. This study aims to address this gap by reviewing PC papers in CM from 1990 to 2019 to ascertain the status of this research area and identify future research directions. This review starts with the definition of PC, and then compares the difference between the PC for individuals and the PC for organizations. Subsequently, this paper identifies three research directions of PC application in CM, namely, human resource management, safety management and procurement management. Finally, this review proposes a dual-dimension framework and some suggestions for future theorizing about the PC application in CM. The findings of this study are believed to provide useful references for the future application of PC in CM.
