This chapter explores the psychological breach of contract effects on women's empowerment, including how it affects women's self-efficacy, confidence, and ability to negotiate for themselves in the workplace. The chapter draws on research from psychology and management literature to examine the ways in which women's empowerment can be impacted by psychological contract breaches, and suggests strategies for promoting empowerment and reducing the negative effects of psychological contract breaches. The psychological breach of contract refers to the experience of disappointment, frustration, and disengagement that occurs when individuals perceive a violation of their expectations in a social exchange. In the context of women's empowerment, psychological breach of contract can occur when women experience a gap between their expectations and the reality of their opportunities and achievements. Research has shown that psychological breach of contract can have negative effects on women's empowerment. Women who experience breach of contract may feel less confident, less motivated, and less willing to take risks in pursuing their goals. They may also experience feelings of anger, resentment, and disillusionment that can lead to disengagement from their work, relationships, and communities. The impact of psychological breach of contract on women's empowerment is particularly significant because it can reinforce existing power imbalances and undermine efforts to achieve gender equality. To promote women's empowerment, it is important to address the root causes of psychological breach of contract, such as discrimination, bias, and unequal access to resources and opportunities. By promoting a more equitable and inclusive society, we can create conditions that support women's empowerment and help to close the gender gap.
