Abstract

This study embarks on a comprehensive investigation into the factors influencing the breach of psychological contracts among knowledge workers within the high-technology sector. Utilizing a robust regression analysis, the research examines the impact of four critical independent variables: Performance Orientation (V1), High Competitive Pressure (V2), Rapidly Evolving Technological Environment (V3), and Work-Life Balance (V4) on the phenomenon of psychological contract breaches. The findings illuminate that all four variables significantly affect such breaches, with Performance Orientation and High Competitive Pressure demonstrating a more pronounced impact at the 0.01 significance level, while Rapidly Evolving Technological Environment and Work-Life Balance show a considerable effect at the 0.05 level. The analysis indicates that these factors, inherent to the operational environments of high-technology companies, substantially contribute to the disruption of psychological contracts among employees who rely heavily on knowledge-based work. The study underscores the necessity for organizations to recognize these critical dimensions and adopt comprehensive strategies focused on reducing incidents of psychological contract breaches. By addressing these key factors, companies can significantly enhance employee satisfaction and operational efficiency, paving the way for a more harmonious and productive workplace environment. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on organizational behavior, offering valuable insights for both academic scholars and industry practitioners aiming to foster a more engaged and committed workforce.
