Abstract
This study examines the psychological contract between academics and their
institutions during a time of great stress—the COVID-19 pandemic. Given
that relationships between these parties have been found to be deteriorating
prior to the pandemic, we believed it pertinent to explore how environmental
changes brought about through lockdown conditions may have shifted the
academic-institution relationship. Through a qualitative research design, our
data is from 2029 women academics across 26 institutions of higher learning
in South Africa.
