Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: This study aims to determine the effect of psychological contracts as a mediator in the relationship between supervisor support, organizational trust and workplace deviant behaviour.For this purpose, a total of 350 lecturers in seven Private Higher Education Institutions (IPTS) around Selangor and Kuala Lumpur were selected as research respondents.The questionnaire was distributed to respondents using instruments taken from the original source.This study found that organizational trust influences workplace deviant behaviour, while supervisor support does not affect workplace deviant behaviour.The study also found that supervisory support and organizational trust influence psychological contracts and psychological contracts influence workplace deviant behaviour.Finally, for mediation analysis, psychological contracts significantly influence the relationship between supervisor support, organizational trust and workplace deviant behaviour at work.This study concludes that supervisory support and organizational trust increase psychological contracts and thus reduce the workplace deviant behaviour among lecturers.
