Abstract

This case study describes the dynamics of psychological contracts within the academic environment, with a focused examination on the experiences of academics at the University of Darussalam Gontor. Eight distinct psychological contracts emerge, encompassing appropriate compensation, fair distribution of workload, flexible working hours, full attention from the university, full organisational supports, clear systems and rules, quick movement, and good culture. Each representing a unique set of expectations and obligations. Additionally, the study sheds light on the development of these contracts, highlighting how prior experiences, interactions within the university, institutional policies, and organizational culture collectively shape and influence academics’ perceptions of their roles and responsibilities. The findings provide invaluable insights into the nuanced interplay between individual expectations and institutional obligations, offering a deeper understanding of the factors that underpin a thriving academic community. Moreover, this study serves as a foundation for fostering an environment that supports the holistic development of both academics and the institution.
