Abstract
Our paper develops and tests a research model that proposes that job
satisfaction (JSAT), career satisfaction (CSAT) and work engagement
(WENG) mediate the effect of psychological contract breach (PCB) on
affective organizational commitment (AOC). Data were collected from
small-sized hotel employees who occupy frontline positions in three
waves in four cities in Ghana. The hypothesized linkages were assessed
via structural equation modelling. The empirical data confirmed all the
hypothesized relationships. Specifically, PCB had a negative impact on
AOC. Additionally, JSAT, CSAT and WENG mediated the effect of PCB on
AOC. Discussion of implications of the findings are included in the paper.
