Transactional Psychological contract

Transactional Psychological contract more Focus on short-term monetary obligations. Therefore this type of contract more concern about compensation and benefits from other parties rather than being emotionally attached to the other party (Anderson et al., 2009; Dundon, 2017; Lynn, McFarlane & Tetrick, 1994; Robinson & Rousseau, 1994).

As a banker, I met the idea of transactional p.c once the organisation gave me the monthly target which has to pursue. Therefore all the officers engaged with the target in order to get the monthly bonus whatever the work-life balance is.

On behalf of that, the best thing is engaging discussions about expectation and capacities to ensure both parties perception regarding employment relationship (Morrison & Robinson, 1997).
