The psychological contract: Mutual expectations during the join-up phase of military-academical studies. In order to determine the expectations of both the potential students of the Military Academy and the Military Academy itself, Kotter's expectation questionnaire was completed on 66 first year students and staff members of the Military Academy. Significant differences were found between the expectations of the students and the expectations of the organisation (as represented by those as staff members). The results also indicated significant differences between students with high expectations and those with low expectations in respect of work satisfaction and career expectations.
