EMPLOYEES’ SENSEMAKING OF PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTRACTS DURING ORGANISATIONAL SOCIALISATION

Abstract
Abstract - The paper presents a qualitative study investigating employee perceptions of their PC with healthcare organisations in Saudi Arabia. Specifically, the study examines the development of the PC in the first year of organisational socialisation. The research findings explore the PC as a process and the functionality between its components and explain employees' sensemaking of organisational socialisation as the forces of the process which inform belief in the PC. The study expands the knowledge of the PC via cognitive and social sensemaking of multiple work events and interactions with organisational actors. Keywords - Psychological Contract, Sensemaking, Socialisation.
