Reciprocal effects of psychological contract breach on counterproductive and organizational citizenship behaviors: The role of time (2018, unknown): “Likewise, studies suggest that reactions to PC breach may intensify in later career stages (Ng & Feldman, 2008) or as employees age (Bal et al., 2008).”
Age and Trust as Moderators in the Relation between Procedural Justice and Turnover: A Large-Scale Longitudinal Study (2011, background): “With regard to procedural justice, especially trust is expected to be more important for older workers, since the relationship with the employer has become more important for them (Bal et al., 2008).”
Investigating the Moderating Effects of Leader–Member Exchange in the Psychological Contract Breach–Employee Performance Relationship: A Test of Two Competing Perspectives (2009, unknown): “Finally, we controlled for age because there is research evidence to suggest that older employees respond to breach differently from younger employees (Bal et al., 2008).”
Benevolent leadership and psychological well-being (2016, background): “Previous research on psychological contracts has indicated that contract breach has a profound impact on job attitudes (Bal et al., 2008; Conway and Briner, 2005; Lub et al., 2012; Zhao et al., 2007).”
Psychological contract violation and customer intention to reuse online retailers: Exploring mediating and moderating mechanisms (2017, background): “The PCV process has been widely studied in the organizational behaviour literature with studies demonstrating its negative effects on employee attitudes such as trust and job satisfaction (Bal et al., 2008; Sels et al., 2004; Zhao et al., 2007).”
Different or alike?: Exploring the psychological contract and commitment of different generations of hospitality workers (2012, background): “Bal et al. (2008) also suggest that specific types of psychological contracts may be age-related.”
Bouncing back from psychological contract breach: How commitment recovers over time (2016, background): “There is abundant research showing that breach is related to declining organizational commitment (e.g., Bal et al., 2008; Ng et al., 2010; Raja et al., 2004; Zhao et al., 2007).”
Dynamics of psychological contracts with work engagement and turnover intention: The influence of organizational tenure (2013, methodology): “Hence, although the organization might provide these employees with inducements, their behaviour is not guided anymore by exchange norms (Bal et al., 2008, 2010).”
Understanding the changing nature of psychological contracts in 21st century organizations (2017, result): “Consistent with these theories, the results of numerous studies (e.g., Bal et al., 2008; Conway & Briner, 2005; E. W. Morrison & Robinson, 1997; Zhao et al., 2007) have shown that both PC breach and PC violation are associated with negative job attitudes and work behaviors.”
