Psychological contracts vary across cultures.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Psychological contracts are influenced by cultural norms, values, beliefs, and communication patterns. Therefore, they vary across different cultures. For example, in cultures with a high power distance, employees may have more "parent-child" type relationships with their managers, and therefore, have different expectations of their roles and responsibilities compared to cultures with a low power distance. Similarly, in cultures where collectivism is valued, employees may prioritize group harmony and cooperation over individual achievement, which can also affect their psychological contract expectations.
