Toward a Theory of Psychological Ownership in Organizations
基于个体对多种目标产生所有权感的观察，提出组织成员在特定条件下会对组织及其因素产生心理所有权，并探讨其根源、发展路径及组织结果。
Building upon the observation that individuals feel ownership toward a variety of targets, we suggest that under certain conditions, organizational members can develop feelings of ownership toward the organization and various organizational factors. We define psychological ownership, identify its “roots” and the primary “routes” through which it develops, and propose certain organizational outcomes. We discuss the conceptual distinctiveness of psychological ownership from a set of related constructs and suggest some theoretical and managerial implications of our theory.
