Abstract:

 This research examined the impact of the employees’ perceptual beliefs of the employment obligations- their psychological contract and the feelings arise from its violation on their personal initiative. The role of knowledge application behavior is examined as mediator in these relationships. The research hypotheses were tested using a self-report data gathered from 139 randomly selected employees from the Egyptian banking sector. It was found that the stronger the employees’ belief of being obligated to in-role and high performance the higher is their personal initiative. Interestingly, employees’ perception of their employer’s obligation to them was not found to significantly impact personal initiative. Regarding psychological contract violation, it was found to negatively impact personal initiative.
