Counterproductive work behavior toward the organization (CWB-O) or supervisor (CWB-S) is commonly treated as a consequence of psychological contract breach (PCB). However, drawing from Self-Consistency Theory, the authors in this article argue that the PCB-CWB relationship is recursive through two mediating mechanisms: self-identity threat and organizational cynicism. Furthermore, the authors predict that the relationship between feelings of violation and CWB-O (or CWB-S) would depend on the extent to which the victim attributed blame to the organization (or supervisor). Using weekly and daily survey data, the study found that identity threat was a stronger mediator for recursive CWB-PCB relationships. Moreover, it was found that PCB related positively to violation feelings, which in turn related positively to CWB-O and CWB-S over time. As predicted, the former was moderated by organizational blame attributions, whereas the latter was moderated by supervisor blame attributions. The authors discuss the theoretical implications and propose novel practical implications based on these reciprocal findings.
针对组织（反生产工作行为-组织，CWB-O）或上级（反生产工作行为-上级，CWB-S）的反生产工作行为通常被视为心理契约违背（PCB）的结果。然而，基于自我一致性理论，本文作者认为PCB与CWB之间的关系是通过自我认同威胁和组织犬儒主义这两种中介机制递归的。此外，作者预测，被侵犯感与CWB-O（或CWB-S）之间的关系将取决于受害者将责任归咎于组织（或上级）的程度。利用每周和每日的调查数据，该研究发现身份威胁是递归CWB-PCB关系中更强的中介变量。此外，研究发现PCB与被侵犯感呈正相关，而随着时间的推移，被侵犯感又与CWB-O和CWB-S呈正相关。正如预测的那样，前者受到组织责任归因的调节，而后者受到上级责任归因的调节。作者讨论了理论意义，并基于这些相互的研究结果提出了新的实践意义。
