TY - JOUR AU - Collins, Aedin AU - Beauregard, Alexandra PY - 2020 DA - 2020/11/12 TI - The effect of breaches of the psychological contract on the job satisfaction and wellbeing of doctors in Ireland: a quantitative study JO - Human Resources for Health SP - 89 VL - 18 IS - 1 AB - Medicine is one of the most popular college degrees at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. Despite this, morale and wellbeing in doctors at all levels internationally is reportedly low. Long hours and stressful working environments have been implicated as the cause of this. The psychological contract is the implicit expectations and mutual obligations held between an employee and employer. Breaches in this contract can lead to strong negative emotional responses. This study will examine the psychological contract of non-consultant doctors and gain further insight into their job satisfaction and wellbeing. It aims to ascertain the effect of breaches of the psychological contract on their job satisfaction and wellbeing.
