What can indicate breach of psychological contract at work?

Correct answer: Repeated breaking of an employee's unspoken reasonable expectations

The direct answer is option A: repeated breaking of an employee’s unspoken, reasonable expectations can indicate a breach of the psychological contract. A psychological contract is not usually a written legal agreement. It is the employee’s and employer’s mutual understanding about trust, respect, fair treatment, support, recognition, job security, or promised opportunities. First identify the expectation, then see whether it was reasonable, and finally check whether it was repeatedly ignored or broken. Repeated disappointment can reduce trust, motivation, and commitment, even when no written rule has been broken. Option A is correct because it directly describes this loss of trust. Option B is wrong because receiving a clear written work contract normally gives formal clarity; it does not itself show a breach. Option C is wrong because giving correct training information shows responsible communication. Option D is wrong because applying rules equally usually shows fairness and strengthens trust. Remember: psychological contract means unwritten expectations and trust; repeated violation is the warning sign.
