Mediating Role

In psychological contract research, the side of the supervisor is strongly underexposed. However, supervisors are responsible for maintaining relationships with both their subordinates and senior management and are likely to be influenced by events unfolding in these relationships. In this study, we state that supervisor well-being may be affected by subordinates who fail to meet their obligations. This study adds to psychological contract research by developing an understanding of how and when subordinate psychological contract breach (PCB) is associated with supervisor emotional exhaustion. Through a weekly diary survey among 56 Dutch supervisors, we test hypotheses about the relationships between subordinate PCB and the emotional exhaustion of the supervisor, the mediating role of perceptions of performance pressure by the supervisor in this relationship, and the moderating role of i-deals between the supervisor and senior management. Multilevel analyses support the first two hypotheses, but contradictory to our expectations show that the positive association between subordinate PCB and the emotional exhaustion of the supervisor is strengthened when the supervisor has high levels of i-deals with senior management. We discuss the findings in relation to their contribution to psychological contract theory.

Teamwork is frequently used to tackle complex and demanding tasks in organizational and educational settings. While teamwork may offer substantial benefits, the challenges of working effectively in teams are considerable. This study examines the roles of psychological contract breach and person-team fit in relation to teams’ effectiveness. Twelve teams of electrical and computer engineering students were surveyed at three time points to assess their perceptions of personteam fit and psychological contract breach.Results of a longitudinal mediation model supported our hypotheses that team level psychological contract breach would result in decreased supplementary fit and increased complementary fit. Regarding team outcomes, we found that perceptions of supplementary fit increased team member peer feedback ratings, while perceptions of complementary fit increased team potency. Follow-up analyses revealed that psychological safety was positively related to psychological contract breach. Implications for practice are discussed.
