Abstract:

This study investigated the effect of perceived psychological contract breach with the feelings of psychological contract violation upon the organizational identification, job satisfaction (internal job satisfaction-external job satisfaction) and the intention to quit. The study was conducted with 300 healthcare professionals by selecting random samples from 4 hospitals in 4 provinces from the Central Anatolia and Mediterranean regions of Turkey. As a result of the study, a negative relationship was determined between the “perceived psychological contract breach” and “organizational identification”. Another negatively significant relationship was determined between the “feelings of psychological contract violation” and “ job satisfaction-external”, “job satisfaction-internal” and “intention to quit”. Other results are given in detail in the study.
