A psychological contract is an unwritten set of expectations and obligations that exist between an employer and an employee. It includes beliefs, perceptions, and mutual obligations that exist between the two parties. These expectations may include things like job security, opportunities for advancement, and a supportive work environment.

When it comes to places of worship, people may indeed have psychological contracts with them. These contracts may include expectations of spiritual guidance, a sense of community, and support during times of need. People may also expect a certain level of ethical behavior and moral leadership from their place of worship.

However, it's important to note that not everyone may have a psychological contract with their place of worship. Some individuals may attend services purely for personal fulfillment or spiritual growth, without any specific expectations or obligations towards the institution itself. Others may have had negative experiences with their place of worship, leading them to not form any psychological contracts with it.

In conclusion, while many people may have psychological contracts with their place of worship, not everyone does. The formation of these contracts depends on individual beliefs, experiences, and the role that the place of worship plays in their lives.
