Research on organizational cynicism is gaining increased attention, still limited literature addresses the issue among public sector organizations in developing countries. By specifically focusing on public sector personnel in Pakistan, the present study attempts to analyze the impact of breach of psychological contract and perception of politics on organizational cynicism. Data was collected from 149 employees employed in public sector institutions of Pakistan. Findings shows that breach of psychological contract determines organizational cynicism, while public sector employees in Pakistan do not consider perception of politics to be associated with organizational cynicism.
