The concept of psychological contract has been viewed as an important factor to understand the reciprocal employment relationship between employee and employer. This study explored the psychological contract of teachers in elementary school in order to understand teachers’ expectations of school board authority’s obligations and perception of how school fulfilled their obligations. A survey method was adopted in this study and the public elementary school teachers in Hsinchu city and country were selected as the research participants to investigate teachers’perception and expectations of the fulfillment of their psychological contract. A total of 650 questionnaires were released, 549 valid questionnaires were received. The valid return rate was 84.46%. The findings of the study are as follows: First, teachers have high expectation about their content of psychological contract especially in the dimension of environmental support provided by the school and the degree that schools show consideration for teaching staff. Secondly, Teachers only perceived middle level fulfillment of psychological contract from their schools with the lowest scores reported in the dimension of establishing human care practice. Thirdly, a significant difference between teachers’ expectation of psychological contract and their perception of the fulfillment of psychological contract is found. Teachers’ expectation scores are significantly higher than their perception scores with the largest difference in the dimension of being considerate of teaching staff. Based on above results, a number of suggestions regarding school administration and the adjustment of teachers’ attitude were proposed in this study. |
