Psychological Contracts
Purpose
Surface unspoken expectations between employer and employee
How to Use
1. Introduce the concept of psychological contracts: unspoken, implicit expectations between employer and employee (or any two parties). 2. Participants map their own psychological contract with their organisation: 'What do you believe you owe them? What do you expect in return?' 3. Identify where the contract has been violated or is at risk. 4. Discuss what a contract renegotiation would look like.
