ProTacit <br />
A Powerful Workshop on<br />
Harnessing the Power of Psychological Contracts in the Workplace<br />
DO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT PSYCHOLOGICAL<br />
CONTRACT WITH YOUR STAFF?<br />
The Psychology of Business Series<br />
The psychological contract is the unspoken way of communicating and relating<br />
to one another based on perceived mutual obligations. This informal contract is<br />
far more crucial to the stability and health of working relationships than any<br />
formal written contract or job description.<br />
The power of this psychological bond is misunderstood in today’s organisation<br />
as are its insidious ability to influence strategically important relationships such<br />
as those between the CEO and Directors, CEO and the Board, CEO and<br />
Chairman, senior and middle management, Middle management and staff, staff<br />
and the top Management team, etc. In fact, from our experience, most<br />
organisations are not even aware of this tacit bond and therefore not aware of its<br />
potentially ongoing subversive impact in the organisation.<br />
A weakness in this tacit bond causes mistrust and apprehension within<br />
relationships and deters organisational progress, improvement, productivity, and<br />
positive change. People begin to distrust the motives of others and view<br />
organisational change and progress, for example, as detrimental to personal and<br />
professional stability regardless of the assurances from leaders. Not surprisingly<br />
many employees’ “fake” commitment to get along and keep their position safe.<br />
Eventually, this tactic undermines personal motivation in the job and leads to<br />
loss of focus, lack of productivity, negative behaviours, conflict and in some<br />
cases, bullying. The undermining of organisational goals and deteriorating<br />
interpersonal relationships is a common outcome. A vicious cycle that requires a<br />
precise solution. It is effectively, the “hidden” organisational culture.
