Question1: Precarious Work Environment and the State of Psychological Contract

Psychological contract refers to the beliefs held by individuals regarding promises made and accepted between themselves for their common interests. In a work environment, psychological contract of workers varies considerably. In many cases, there remains a big spasm between actual physical contract and psychological contract (expectation from the other party). The ultimately goal of any organization is to bridge the gap between actual expectation and perceived expectation (Sharkie). However, in dangerous or precarious work environments such as Steel foundries, Ice manufacturing, police job, fire-fighting, meat packaging and other heavy manufacturing, the state of psychological contract is often different from ...
