Abstract
The psychological contract is a pivotal concept in understanding contemporary employment dynamics. It embodies a mutual exchange of obligations between individuals, shaping their expectations, perceptions, and interactions within the workplace/organisation/industry. This paper explores diverse definitions of the psychological contract, highlighting its dynamic nature and variable interpretations. The dimensions of the psychological contract (transactional and relational contract), surrounds aspects such as mutual expectations, obligations, and socio-emotional exchanges.
