Article Abstract:
Employee perceptions of inducements offered by their organization were investigated to determine whether there is a correlation between job satisfaction and employee performance. The objective was to examine gaps in perceptions toward inducements and the effect of such gaps, if any, on employee job attitudes and other familiar measures. Empirical results showed that the larger the disparity in perceptions between employees and employers toward inducements the lower the employees' satisfaction with their organization. There were also cases when employees reported greater amounts of inducements than did representatives of their organizations. These findings have significant implications for research on psychological contracts.
