AB Business organizations in their work environment, aspire to create a high level ofperformance and low levels of absenteeism and turnover. Organizational commitmentis considered a key factor in achieving this objective, however, it can be conditioned byseveral factors, among which is the psychological contract. The literature has relatedthe organizational commitment with the fulfillment of the psychological contract framingit as one of the explanatory variables. This work aims to investigate research trends onpsychological contract and organizational commitment. For this purpose, bibliometrictechniques and the software SciMAT have been used. 220 journal articles indexed inWeb of Science (WoS) were analyzed. The findings indicate that the theme chosen forthis review is valid. Based on the relationship between the two concepts, as the mostrecurrent themes, issues such as the sense of justice and the consequences of theviolation of the psychological contract, normative commitment, HR management or jobinsecurity are addressed. However, in the last period analyzed (2015–2018), publicationsrelated to more sensitive topics to the present time emerge, such as the employability orthe impact of these two concepts in the new generations (millennial and generation-Y)or the retention of talent. On the other hand, shortcomings are detected in the researchon the ideologically charged psychological contract, the analysis of the organizationalcontext or cultural and demographic factors in relation to both theoretical constructs.The contribution of this work lies in giving visibility to scientific results, which will servebusiness organizations as instruments for decision making in their labor managementand, for the scientific community, as knowledge of the research spaces to explore
