The purpose of this study was to investigate how people with insecure
employment affect the psychological contract in the perspective of workers'
experience. The questions in this study were: how does a person with insecure
employment perceive the psychological contract and what consequences dose an
insecure employment have on the psychological contract. The study was a
qualitative method with semi-structured interviews. The results showed that the
absent relationship that existed between the participants and the employer was
assumed to be affected by insecure employment. The result revealed that one of
the consequences was falling confidence and less support to the employer as an
effect of insecure employment and psychological contract. The study also showed
that the experience of a psychological contract break is reduced thanks to the
high job satisfaction. The psychological contract was experienced as
problematic in absent, due to the absent relationship with the employer, thanks
to imbalance between the promise and commitment. The discoveries made in the
study was that job insecurity has a negative impact on the relationship with
the employer and the high level of job satisfaction counteracts experienced
psychological contract break.
