Description

Employees who are professionally and emotionally committed to an organization and a job often provide better service and go beyond the boundaries of their job descriptions to get the job done.  At the same time, everyone has a psychological contract (PC) with your employer.  It is not written anywhere, and it is often implicit or perhaps privately held, but we all know it when we “see” it.  We know when we feel that we are in sync with our supervisor and our agency, and, conversely, when we are not.  Those feelings represent actual impacts of the PC.  Everyone believes that the agreement between the two parties is mutual.  The PC is a means to achieve employee engagement.
