Abstract

Abstract:

The theory of Strategic Human Resource Management divides the employees into different types of human resources structures, providing a new perspective for the study of the psychological contract breach and organizational citizenship behavior 359 valid questionnaires obtained from the employees in northern China are analyzed by using this theory and the hierarchical regression method to explore the influence of psychological contract breach of the employees in different human resources structures on the organizational citizenship behavior The research reveals that although psychological contract breach has a prominently negative effect on organizational citizenship behavior, the impact on different types of employees in human resources structures tends to be different: interpersonal dimension breach of the knowledge-based employees has the most significant negative influence; normalized dimensional breach of the employment-based employees, contract-based employees and alliance or collaboration-based employees has the most significant negative influence The conclusion provides theoretical basis for the effective implementation of enterprise staff management

Key words: psychological contract breach, organizational citizenship behavior; , human resources structure, human resources management
