| Abstract: | This study examines mobile managers' reactions to lengthening job tenure brought about by slower organizational growth and greater competition among peers, by using psychological contract literature as a framework. It is hypothized that managers tend to view lengthening job tenure as a violation of the relational employment contract held with their corporate employers, and experience decreased organizational commitment, and an increased probability of turnover. Variables expected to exacerbate or to offset these relationships were also examined. Results show that lengthening job tenure decreased managers' affective commitment and increased the likelihood of turnover during a three year follow-up period for managers who had experienced greater success in the organization and for those with greater responsibility. |
