Abstract

This research examines the relationships between conceptions of organizational practices (POS, LMX, and perceived meaning of work) and psychological contracts (transactional, balanced, and relational) using knowledge employees as research participants. We test the hypothesized relationships using hierarchical regression analysis with data from a sample of 452 knowledge employees from several big cities of China. The results show that POS, LMX and perceived meaning of work are all positively related to balanced psychological contract and relational psychological contract respectively, and perceived meaning of work is negatively related to transactional psychological contract, and neither POS nor LMX is related to transactional psychological contract.
