What the paper says

Psychological contract breaches continue to persist within the contemporary workplace.However, research is limited in how such breaches impact destructive workplace behaviors.This study uses a quantitative survey design, with a sample of employees across the major financial institutions in Trinidad to test the relationships between perceived breaches, organizational deviance and interpersonal deviance.The results suggest that a positive relationship exists between perceived breaches and organizational deviance, but there was no significant relationship with interpersonal deviance.Notably, organizational trust moderated both relationships.To manage destructive organizational deviance, managers should therefore minimize perceived breaches and build organizational trust.
