What does an organization violate if it fails to keep promises of long-term career opportunities to employees?

Breach of an employment contract.
Breach of natural justice.
Breach of a psychological contract.
Breach of procedural justice.

The correct answer is: Breach of a psychological contract.

The organization violates a psychological contract when it fails to keep promises of long-term career opportunities to employees. A psychological contract refers to the unwritten set of expectations and beliefs about the mutual obligations between employees and employers. It encompasses the perceived commitments and ongoing assumptions that employees believe they have with their employer regarding career progression, job security, and professional development. When an organization promises career growth and fails to deliver on this promise, it leads to a breach of that psychological contract. This breach can severely undermine trust and lead to decreased morale, employee engagement, and overall job satisfaction, as employees may feel misled or undervalued. Such violations can have lasting impacts on organizational culture and employee retention. The other options do not accurately reflect the nature of this situation. A breach of an employment contract involves a violation of the explicit terms laid out in a formal agreement. Breach of natural justice relates to fairness and ethical considerations in processes such as disciplinary actions or employment decisions. Breach of procedural justice refers to fair processes in decision-making rather than the promises made between the employer and employee with respect to career opportunities.
