Resumen
Las fusiones y adquisiciones (F-A) afectan el contrato psicológico de los empleados. Este estudio evaluó el impacto de las F-A en el contrato psicológico, la satisfacción laboral, el compromiso organizacional, la intención de dejar la empresa, y si la explicación creíble moderó las reacciones de los empleados. Se realizaron análisis estadísticos de los datos de 196 encuestados de dos farmacéuticas en Puerto Rico. Los resultados revelaron una correlación inversa entre la percepción de violación del contrato psicológico (VCP) y las variables satisfacción laboral y compromiso organizacional. También confirmaron una relación directa entre la VCP y la variable intención de marcharse. Este estudio encontró un efecto de la variable moderadora explicación creíble sobre las variables satisfacción laboral y compromiso organizacional. La comprensión de la teoría del contrato psicológico puede reducir la violación percibida y su impacto en las actitudes de los empleados.Citas
