This paper reports the findings of a study that investigated the relationship between different
kinds of career management activities, the psychological contract, and outcomes of psychological
contract fulfillment. The study tested a series of linked hypotheses which propose that
individual career management behavior is associated with the experience of organizational
career management help, which is related to fulfillment of the psychological contract. Fulfillment
of the psychological contract in turn is linked to organizational commitment and is associated
with behaviors at work, including absenteeism, turnover, and independent ratings of job
performance. The findings provide some support for these proposed links. As a result, the
paper makes four contributions to the psychological contract and careers literature: first, it
shows that both individual and organizational career management behaviors are linked to psychological
contract fulfillment; second, organizational career management help is associated
with affective commitment and job performance; third, psychological contract fulfillment
plays a key role in mediating the relationship between career management help and such attitudes
and behaviors; and fourth, organizational commitment may mediate between psychological
contract fulfillment and individual career management behavior aimed at furthering the
career outside the organization. Copyright # 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
