Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to provide a thorough analysis into the importance of employer branding in the development of anticipatory psychological contract and the influence of anticipatory psychological contract fulfilment in the retention of employees.

The method of approach towards this study was qualitative and the data was collected using semi-structured interviews. The participants for this study were employees who recently quit their jobs after working for a short period of time in their organisations.

The results of this study indicate that employer branding significantly influences on the expectations and the psychological contract of the employee. The findings also point towards a relationship between the fulfilment of anticipatory psychological contract and retention of employees.
