This study is centred on the extent to which the psychological contract transition impacts the dedication dimension of work engagement in a hybrid work environment. The psychological contract transition is measured using the Psychological Contract Inventory (Scale), and consists of three dimensions: namely, No Trust, Uncertainty, and Erosion. The dedication component of employee engagement was measured using a validated scale, the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES). The objective of the study is to assess the relationship between the psychological contract transition and employee engagement dedication dimension in a hybrid work environment. Findings from the study will contribute to the literature in Human Resource Management and equip leaders and managers with tools to foster dedication and improve employee engagement levels using evidence-based information. The research took the following path: quantitative design, with correlation, positivist, deductive, mono-method (quantitative), and cross-sectional survey. The study concluded that erosion, as the psychological contract transition dimension, has the greatest impact on employee engagement.
