“…Uncertainty avoidance refers to the degree to which ambiguous and uncertain situations are threatening to individuals, to which predicted ordered are preferred (House et al , 2004). People who live in societies with high-uncertainty avoidance prefer to take fewer risks (Parboteeah et al , 2005), trust in others (Hwang, 2009) and are likely to feel more uncomfortable in unknown or surprising situations (Ozorio et al , 2010), in comparison to those who live in low-uncertainty avoidance societies (House et al , 2004).…”

PurposeThis paper contains a meta-analysis of the psychological contract literature published in the last two decades. The aim of this paper was to investigate the moderating role of national culture in the individual-level relationships between psychological contract breach (PCB) and two important work outcomes, namely job performance (in-role and organizational citizenship behaviors) and turnover (actual and intended).Design/methodology/approachAfter an extensive literature search, 134 studies were found which matched the authors’ aim. The authors then incorporated national cultural scores based on the GLOBE study to include country-level scores to identify how the PCB relationships with these four outcomes vary across cultures.FindingsThe findings indicate that national cultural practices moderated the associations between PCB and the four outcomes, yet, no significant moderations for uncertainty avoidance practices.Originality/valueWhile existing research has examined the impact of the breach on work outcomes such as job performance and turnover, there are few empirical studies that examine how national cultural practices influence the relationships between psychological contract breach and job performance and turnover. The authors address this need by investigating and creating a deeper insight into how cultural practices such as institutional collectivism, performance-orientation, power-distance, future orientation and gender egalitarianism moderate the relationships between PCB and job performance and turnover.
