The state of the psychological contract and its relation to employees' psychological health
The present paper explores the role of the state of the psychological contract in predicting psychological health outcomes in a sample of 385 employees from different Spanish companies. Results indicate that the state of the psychological contract significantly predicts life satisfaction, work-family conflict and well-being beyond the predictive capacity of the content of the psychological contract. In addition, trust and fairness, two of the dimensions of the state of the psychological contract, jointly contribute to explaining these psychological health variables, adding value to the predictive role of fulfilment of the psychological contract. These results lend support to the approach pr…

Work-related stress and well-being: The roles of direct action coping and palliative coping
The purpose of the present study is to analyze the roles of direct action coping and palliative coping in the relationship between work stressors and psychological well-being, as well as their possible interactions, in a sample of 464 bank employees. Hierarchical regression analyses showed main effects of direct action coping on well-being. Palliative coping predicts higher levels of psychological distress. Contrary to what was expected, the interactions between work stressors and direct action coping were not significant. Palliative coping interacted with work stressors when predicting psychosomatic complaints. The interaction between the two types of coping was significant on psychosomati…
El estado del contrato psicológico y su relación con la salud psicológica de los empleados
El presente trabajo estudia el papel del estado del contrato psicológico para predecir resultados de salud psicológica en una muestra de 385 empleados de distintas empresas españolas. Los resultados indican que el estado del contrato psicológico predice la satisfacción con la vida, el conflicto trabajo-familia y el bienestar psicológico más allá de la predicción alcanzada por el propio contenido del contrato psicológico, y que la confianza y la justicia, dos de las dimensiones del estado del contrato psicológico, consideradas conjuntamente contribuyen a explicar dichas variables añadiendo valor al rol que como predictor desempeña el cumplimiento del contrato. Estos resultados suponen un apo…

Team climate, climate strength and team performance: a longitudinal study
We tested the hypothesis that the relationship between team climate and team performance is moderated by climate strength. The study sample was composed of 155 bank branches, and a two-wave panel design was implemented. We measured four team climate facets (support, innovation, goal achievement and enabling formalization). We obtained two subjective indicators of team performance (ratings provided by team members and by team managers) and a financial indicator of team performance. Seven out of the 12 interaction effects tested were statistically significant and showed the expected sign. When financial team performance was the criterion, only the interaction term was significant. This sugges…
