Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: Employees' positive attitudes towards to their organizations are vital for organizations in terms of their positive effects on employee behaviors.In the literature, there are numerous studies that investigate the positive employee attitudes.Despite the majority of the studies, psychological ownership, as a one of the positive employee attitudes, related studies are interestingly limited in the literature.In this respect, the primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of servant leadership on psychological ownership.After a review of psychological ownership related studies, two propositions are developed to draw attention to this issue.Accordingly, the proposed model consists of three variables, servant leadership as the independent variable, psychological ownership as depended variable, and perceived organizational support plays a moderator role in the servant leadership-psychological ownership relationship.Managerial and further research implications are forwarded.
