A Bibliometric Review of Psychological Contract Breach Studies in India from 2011 to 2023

Abstract

Psychological contract breach (PCB) is a phenomenon that occurs when employees perceive that their organization has failed to fulfill its obligations or promises can lead to a number of negative consequences for employees, including reduced well-being. PCB has been widely studied in various contexts and disciplines, but there is a lack of comprehensive and systematic review of the literature on PCB in the Indian context. This paper aims to fill this gap by conducting a bibliometric analysis of the literature on PCB in the Indian context using data from Scopus database. The paper analyzes 31 articles published between 2011 and 2023, and examines the patterns, trends, and gaps in the literature based on various indicators, such as publication year, author, affiliation, documents type, and subject area. In this paper, we offer insights and implications for researchers and practitioners who are interested in PCB in the context of India, and we suggest directions for further research in this field.
