Toward an Understanding of the Psychology of Stewardship
细化了管家概念的定义，探讨了其与代理理论的差异，并提出了一个模型来解释影响管家行为的结构和心理因素，以及这些行为如何通过反馈循环改变组织治理。
In this article I pursue two objectives. First, I refine the definition of stewardship by exploring the underlying assumptions of stewardship theory and examining the conceptual distinctiveness of the stewardship construct. Second, I propose a model of stewardship antecedents. In so doing, I discuss the structural and psychological factors that influence stewardship behaviors through psychological ownership and the ways in which stewardship behaviors can collectively create feedback loop processes to systematically shift organizational governance from agency toward stewardship.
