psychological contract

psychological contract
HR
the set of unwritten expectations concerning the relationship between an employee and an employer. The psychological contract addresses factors that are not defined in a written contract of employment such as levels of employee commitment, productivity, quality of working life, job satisfaction, attitudes to flexible working, and the provision and take-up of suitable training. Expectations from both employer and employee can change, so the psychological contract must be reevaluated at intervals to minimize misunderstandings.
