Experiencing organizational change in Greece: the framework of psychological contract

We examine antecedents and outcomes of psychological contract violation in parallel with perceptions of psychological contract fulfilment in the Greek banking sector. We demonstrated that violation mediated the relation between breach and attitudinal outcomes. Trust in the employer partially mediated the relationship of breach and violation with employee attitudes. Finally, careerism moderated the relationship of perceived breach and organizational commitment. Our results are discussed in light of the major organizational changes occurring in the financial sector, and the consequences of these changes on employees' attitudes and psychological contract breach and violation, along with research and practical implications.
