The worldwide nursing shortage is unprecedented. Studies show increasing demand for nursing services coupled with a finite nursing supply. Many theories have been developed to explain the nursing shortage, to no avail. One unexplored theory is the psychological contract, which explores the impact of unwritten yet real expectations on work relationships. Understanding breach of the psychological contract is essential to resolution of the ongoing nursing shortage.
全球护理人员短缺的情况史无前例。研究表明，护理服务需求不断增加，而护理人员供应却有限。人们已经提出了许多理论来解释护理人员短缺的问题，但都无济于事。一个尚未探讨的理论是心理契约，它探讨了未成文但真实存在的期望对工作关系的影响。理解心理契约的违背对于解决当前护理人员短缺问题至关重要。
