ABSTRACT
This study sought to examine the influence of psychological contract breach (PCB) on employees’ affective, continuance and normative commitment. It also examined leader-member exchange (LMX) as a moderator of the relationship between PCB and the dimensions of organizational commitment. Job embeddedness (JE) and organization-based self-esteem (OBSE) were also examined as mediators of this relationship. Two hundred and ninety-eight (298) teachers were conveniently sampled from both private and public schools within the Ga-East Municipality of Accra for this quantitative cross-sectional survey. Data were analyzed using hierarchical regression test and independent t-test. Results indicated PCB was negatively related to a) affective commitment and c) normative commitment. LMX did not moderate the relationship between PCB and the dimensions of organizational commitment. JE mediated the relationship between PCB and the dimensions of commitment. Public school teachers reported high levels of PCB as compared to their counterparts in the private schools. Findings of this study indicate PCB reduces teachers’ commitment. Stakeholders in the education sector ought to institute measures to reduce or eliminate it. Frequent boot camps can be organized to reiterate obligations owed to employees so as to clear any misconceptions
