The Consequences of Psychological Contract Breach and Organizational Identification in Accommodation Enterprises: The Mediating Role of Equity Sensitivity

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of accommodation businesses employees’ perceived psychological contract breach and organizational identification on emotional commitment and job performance in accommodation enterprises and to examine the mediating role of equity sensitivity between psychological contract breach and job performance. As a sampling method, from non-random sampling methods, convenience sampling is used and a questionnaire was applied to employees of five star accommodation enterprises in Istanbul and Antalya within January-March 2017. In the study, a structural equation model was used to measure the effects of variables. As a result of the research, it has been determined that perceived psychological contract breach negatively affects employee equality sensitivity, emotional commitment, organizational identification and job performance. On the other hand, organizational identification improves the job performance of accommodation business employees. Also within this study, the existence of a partial mediator role of equality sensitivity on the adverse effect of perceived psychological contract breach on job performance has been established. Nevertheless, it has been reached that the equity sensitivity has no meaningful effect on emotional attachment
