Psychological Contract Violation and Affective Commitment: The Mediating Effect of Cynicism and the Moderating Effect of Employees’ Expectations

Abstract

This research is building on the previous research by examining both the mediating effect of cynicism and the moderating effect of employees’ expectations on the psychological contract violations–affective commitment relationship among academic staff in private universities in Egypt. A sample of 395 academic members responded to a four-part questionnaire measuring research variables (psychological contract violation, affective commitment, cynicism, and employees’ expectations). Cynicism was found to partially mediate the violation – affective commitment relationship. Further, employees’ expectations were found to moderate the violation – cynicism relationship. These results were discussed in light of extant literature. Research limitations and implications were reported

Keywords: Affective Commitment, Cynicism, Egyptian academics, Employees’ expectations, Psychological contract violation
