Breach and Violation of Psychological Contract

According to Morrison and Robinson (1997), psychological contract breach is subjective to the employee based not only (or necessarily) on the employer's actions or inactions but on the point of view of individual's personal understanding of those actions or inactions within an environmental context. Consequently, the occurrence of psychological contract breach should depend on social and psychological factors particular to the employment relationship in which it occurs.
