The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between Psychological Contract Breach (PCB) and employee's responses through the mediating mechanism of leader-member exchange (LMX). Globally, workplace leadership, employers, and employee's relationship are crucial phenomena to explore.

Moreover, present study tested these tri-phenomena via a self-administered questionnaire of 250 employees from different organizations. In this regard, present study applied structure equation modeling to evaluate the defined relationship.
