“…Van Dyne and Pierce (2004) found that psychological ownership was associated with increased organizational commitment, job satisfaction, organization-based self-esteem, and organizational citizenship. As noted above, Mayhew et al (2007) revealed that organization-based psychological ownership has a positive relationship with affective organizational commitment and job satisfaction. Avey et al (2009) showed that psychological ownership was positively related to transformational leadership, organizational citizenship, affective commitment, job satisfaction, and intention to stay, and negatively related to workplace deviance.…”

“…Mayhew et al (2007) similarly defined psychological ownership as a feeling of possession without any formal or legal assertion of ownership. Van Dyne and Pierce (2004) defined psychophysical ownership as the psychological phenomenon of developing employee-specific feelings about both tangible and intangible objects (e.g., a group, job, work tools, organization).…”

“…It has many antecedents, such as organizational culture and climate, attitudes toward superiors, the visions and goals of organization, reputation of the organization, and organizational policies and procedures (Mayhew et al, 2007). Furthermore, psychological ownership has important emotional, attitudinal, and behavioral effects on employees that experience ownership (Pierce et al 2001).…”

“…Organization-based psychological ownership refers to an employee's feeling of psychological ownership of the organization itself, while "job-based psychological ownership" refers to psychological ownership of the specific duties or tasks that employees are responsible for (Pierce, Kostova, & Dirks, 2001). Mayhew et al (2007) investigated psychological ownership in organizational settings, and found that organization-based and job-based psychological ownership are independent from the work attitudes of job satisfaction and commitment. Job-based psychological ownership had a positive relationship with job satisfaction, while organization-based psychological ownership had a positive relation with affective organizational commitment and job satisfaction.…”

“…Psychophysical ownership can be generally divided into "organization-based psychological ownership" and "job-based psychological ownership" (Pierce et al, 1991;Mayhew et al, 2007). Organization-based psychological ownership refers to an employee's feeling of psychological ownership of the organization itself, while "job-based psychological ownership" refers to psychological ownership of the specific duties or tasks that employees are responsible for (Pierce, Kostova, & Dirks, 2001).…”

A B S T R A C TThis study focuses on examining the role of psychological ownership in internal marketing. Specifically, this study explores the relationships between psychological ownership, organizational identification, and turnover intention. Two hundred forty-six employees participated in this study. The results of structural equation modeling revealed that the two components of psychological ownership were associated with increased organizational identification and reduced turnover intention. These findings indicate that psychological ownership might be a positive precedent factor for employees' organizational identification. Furthermore, organizational identification felt by employees plays an important role in decreasing overall turnover intention. The study contributes to our understanding of employees' psychology and behavior in their workplace and suggests ways to successfully conduct internal marketing and manage human resources.

Psychological ownership: A review and research agenda

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The concept of psychological ownership (PO) reflects a state in which individuals feel as though the target of ownership (e.g., job or organization) is theirs. In recent years, there has been an expansion of research linking PO with a range of desirable employee attitudes and behaviors. However, the theoretical foundations of the construct, its measurement, the factors that influence its development, and when and how it influences outcomes are areas of continued debate in the literature. In this article, we provide a narrative review of extant PO literature with the aim of developing a research agenda that encourages scholars to target opportunities for future research. In particular, we highlight the need for continued refinement of the conceptualization and measurement of PO, and development of its nomological network. In addition, we call for greater investigation of PO towards different objects or foci; examination of possible multilevel applications of PO research; identification of potential boundary conditions of PO; and exploration of the influence of culture and individual differences on the development and influence of PO. We also introduce alternative theoretical approaches for understanding and investigating PO. In doing so, we provide a roadmap for scholars to progress the development of the field.

My knowledge: The negative impact of territorial feelings on employee's own innovation through knowledge hiding

2022

Summary Innovation is critical for organizational success but innovation often depends on employee's willingness to share, which they surprisingly are not always willing to do despite potential negative costs to the individuals who hide information. Drawing on psychological ownership theory, we explain how knowledge engenders territorial feelings and leads employees to hide knowledge. Using social exchange theory, we explain how certain types of knowledge hiding behavior negatively impact the hider by reducing their own innovation. To explore potential mitigating factors, we proposed that affect‐based trust alleviates the relationship between territorial feelings and knowledge hiding and buffers the harmful effect of territorial feelings on innovative behavior. We tested the model in two studies: a pilot study of 133 full‐time employees (Study 1) and a two‐wave investigation of 30 supervisors and 240 employees (Study 2). Results revealed that (a) territorial feelings positively influenced evasive hiding and playing dumb but not rationalized hiding, (b) evasive hiding and playing dumb mediated the link between territorial feelings and innovative behavior, (c) affect‐based trust moderated the relationship between territorial feelings and evasive hiding as well as the indirect effects of territorial feelings on employee innovative behavior via evasive hiding. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
