Resumen

En este estudio, los procedimientos meta-analíticos se usan para examinar las relaciones entre la percepción de ruptura de contrato psicológico y ciertas variables de resultados, como el compromiso organizacional, la satisfacción laboral y las conductas de ciudadanía organizacional (OCB). Nuestra revisión de la literatura generó 41 muestras independientes. Un tamaño del efecto (ES) medio se obtuvo para los resultados deseables (satisfacción laboral, compromiso organizacional, confianza en la organización, OCB y rendimiento (r= -.35). Para los resultados indeseables (negligencia en las tareas del puesto e intención de abandono), el ES fue también medio (r= .31). Cuando se comparan los resultados actitudinales (satisfacción, compromiso organizacional y confianza) y los conductuales (OCB, negligencia en las tareas y rendimiento), un ES más fuerte se encuentra para los actitudinales (r= -.24) que para los conductuales (r= -.11). El análisis de ecuaciones estructurales de la matriz conjunta de correlaciones meta-analítica indica que las relaciones de la ruptura de contrato con la satisfacción laboral, las conductas de ciudadanía, la intención de abandono y el rendimiento están totalmente mediadas por la confianza organizacional y el compromiso. Los resultados se discuten en orden a la sugerencia de implicaciones teóricas y aplicadas.
