Results revealed that structural factors (Co-ordination & work autonomy) significantly predicted perceived levels of psychological contract fulfillment (PCF) and job involvement in both the hospitals whereas, PCF mediated the prediction of job involvement by some of the structural factors among the medical employees of both the hospitals. Findings highlighted the significance of co-ordination and work at their own, which may be promoted by hospital administrators for getting positive outcomes through increasing job involvement of employees.
