Abstract: (406 Views) |
Psychological ownership, as a cognitive-emotional construct, is a state in which people feel that the object of ownership or a part of it (in terms of nature, whether material or non-material) belongs to them, so that this feeling reflects personal awareness, thoughts, opinions and ownership goal-oriented beliefs. The study is applied research in terms of its objectives, and descriptive-surveyal and correlational in terms of its nature and method. The sample, based on Morgan's table, includes 400 randomly selected managers, auditors and accountants. The study investigates the effects of psychological ownership on profitability and the mediating role organizational justice, organizational commitment and job satisfaction can play.
Data were collected in two phases. First, the theoretical foundations and the literature were reviewed using domestic and foreign articles as well as reference books. Second, a standardized questionnaire, whose reliability and validity were measured and confirmed by divergence and convergence tests, was administered to gather data. The effects of psychological ownership (the independent variable) on profitability (the dependent variable) were explored through three mediating variables including organizational commitment, organizational justice, and job satisfaction.
The results showed that there was a significant relationship between psychological ownership and organizational commitment, job satisfaction and organizational justice. The results also indicated that organizational justice had a significant relationship with profitability. Finally, organizational justice and job satisfaction also had a significant mediating role in the relationship between psychological ownership and profitability.
