Abstract
Psychological contracts have been established as an important predictor of employee attitudes, behavior, and health, but the potential antecedents of psychological contracts are not yet fully understood. Leadership is one of the contextual antecedents with a sufficiently large body of research that is suited for a meta-analysis. A meta-analysis of 93 investigations tested the relationship between leadership and psychological contracts. The results showed an overall clear positive relationship of both constructs. Specifically, several forms of leadership were found to be negatively correlated with breach and positively correlated with fulfillment. Relationships with relational and transactional contracts were not supported because of the small number of studies. The results indicate that many studies involve leader-member exchange (LMX) or breach. Future research should conduct more studies with other leadership themes, particularly emerging leadership theories, and with a focus on psychological contract contents.
