Creator Iyayi, Omole
 
Description The objective of this study was to find out university academics experiences and reactions to psychological contract breach. In other to achieve this goal 297 academics from two (2) universities located within Benin City, Edo State were selected for inclusion in the study. A total of 554 questionnaires were administered to academic staff from both universities and 297 questionnaires were returned and found useable. The data obtained, due to its nature was analyzed using content analysis and from that analysis we found that academics experienced psychological contract breach in two main areas: the working environment and training & development. The study also found that academics resorted most frequently to “self-help” strategies in order to address breaches of their psychological contracts. We recommended that, among other things, academic institutions take the necessary steps to improve the working conditions of academics.
