==Psychological contracts in teams==
Psychological contracts have also been theorized to occur within teams of individuals as they share everyday experiences, are subject to similar team-level promises, and interact collectively with other organizational agents. <ref>{{Cite journal|last=Laulié|first=Lyonel|year=2016|title=A multi-level theory of psychological contract fulfillment in teams|journal=Group & Organization Management|volume=41 |issue=5 |pages=658–698 |doi=10.1177/1059601116668972 }}</ref> Based on the macrosociological perspective of social exchange theory as well as theories on the role of social influence in psychological contract evaluations, shared psychological contract fulfilment (PCF) shapes the relationship between individual PCF and outcomes,<ref name=":23">Tekleab, Amanuel, Lyonel Laulié, Ans de Vos, Jeroen de Jong, and Jacqueline Coyle-Shapiro.

This idea was also developed by Denise Rousseau when she described the notion of "normative contracts" in her seminal 1995 book.
