Abstract

Many studies have pointed out that psychological contracts are significantly associated with improving job satisfaction, performance, and willingness to stay. Meanwhile, scholars have found that psychological contracts are affected by different personality traits, such as locus of control. In addition, trust in organization is positively related to psychological contract. Consequently, this study explores the effect of organizational trust on the relationship between locus of control and psychological contract. A questionnaire survey was used in this study. A total of 231 questionnaires were collected from employees involved in manufacturing industry in Tainan City, Taiwan. The results of hierarchical regression analysis revealed that internal locus of control has a positive effect on psychological contract, while external locus of control has a negative effect on psychological contract. Organizational trust including vertical and lateral trusts has a positive effect on psychological contract. Parts of organizational trust have the moderating effects on the relationship between locus of control and psychological contract. Furthermore, practical suggestions based on the research results and analysis were also proposed.
