Abstract

This article explores the domain of psychological contract with respect to employees of IT industry in India and identifies the factors that determine positive psychological contract amongst the employer and employees. Longitudinal data was collected from 245 employees of top Indian IT companies based out of Pune and Bengaluru. Through exploratory factor analysis, the determining factors of psychological contract were identified. The significant differences of variables like gender, marital status, work experience, designation with factors of the psychological contract were also determined by using T-test and ANOVA. The results show that gender has no significant difference w.r.t. the factors determining psychological contract as far as IT professionals are concerned. However, marital status, total work experience, designation and tenure in the current organisation do have a significant difference as far as the determinant factors of psychological contract are concerned.
