Pages 297-308 | Published online: 30 Jul 2015
 

Abstract

This study examines the moderating role of a leader-member exchange in the relationship between psychological contract breach (PCB) and employee outcomes in China. Results of this study show that (1) a psychological contract breach influences an employee’s turnover intention, organizational identification, and organizational citizenship behaviors; and (2) leader-member exchange can be a mediating variable to affect the relationship between psychological contract breach and organizational identification, organizational citizenship behavior, but cannot affect the relationship between psychological contract breach and turnover intentions in Chinese firms.

Notes

The internal consistency coefficient, also Cronbach’s Alpha, refers to the reliability of each measure based on correlations between different items of each measure. When Cronbach’s α ≥ 0.9, it means that the internal consistency is excellent. When Cronbach’s 0.9 > α ≥ 0.8, it means the internal consistency is good. When Cronbach’s 0.8 > α ≥ 0.7, it means the internal consistency is acceptable. In this study, all measures of the internal consistency coefficient are bigger than 0.7, so the measures are acceptable for data analyses.
