Content and structure of China coal mine operators’ psychological contract

Psychological contract is the key condition to form and select behavioral motivation for employees in the organization. In this article, we empirically study the content and structure of mine operators’ psychological contract in typical Chinese coal enterprises. Based on studying the coal mine operators’ psychological contract concept model, we validate the content and structure of core operators’ psychological contract, i.e. organization obligation is composed of four dimensions including production guarantee, growth guarantee, organizational respect and organizational development, and employee obligation is also composed of four dimensions including self-safety, public safety, loyalty and self-development. Finally, in view of the actual coal mine production, we suggests establishment of active psychological contract to enhance the coal mine safety management level.
