Abstract

Psychological
ownership is defined as the state which individuals feel that a piece of target
is theirs. Even in the absence of legal ownership, individuals might develop
psychological ownership directed at an organization, a group, an idea, a
suggestion, an equipment or a job. Limited research on the antecedents and
consequences of psychological ownership make the concept rather interesting. Thus,
the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between perceived
organizational support and psychological ownership and the role of
organizational justice which has the potential to explain various
organizational behavior. Data were collected by questionnaires from 250
employees working in different organizations operating in different sectors.
Results showed that perceived organizational support items loaded on two
factors as “work related support” and “emotional support” and there is a positive
relationship between both of the perceived organizational support factors and
psychological ownership. Additionally, results showed that distributive,
interactional and procedural justice has a moderating role on the relationship
between “work related support” and psychological ownership stressing that this
relationship is significant only when the organizational justice factors are
low in the organization.

ALGILANAN ÖRGÜTSEL DESTEK VE PSİKOLOJİK SAHİPLENME ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ VE BU İLİŞKİDE ÖRGÜTSEL ADALETİN ROLÜ

Abstract

Psikolojik sahiplenme, bireylerin herhangi bir “nesneyi” kendilerininmiş gibi hissettiği durum olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bireyler, hukuki anlamda bir sahiplik olmasa da örgüte, gruba, fikre, öneriye, ekipmana ve işe karşı psikolojik sahiplenme geliştirebilmektedirler. Psikolojik sahiplenmenin öncelleri ve sonuçları hakkında sınırlı sayıda araştırma bulunması konuyu ilginç kılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı da algılanan örgütsel destek ile psikolojik sahiplenme arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek ve bu ilişkide birçok örgütsel davranışı açıklama potansiyeline sahip olan örgütsel adaletin rolünü araştırmaktır. Veriler, anket yolu ile İstanbul’da farklı sektörlerde faaliyet gösteren örgütlerdeki 250 çalışandan toplanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları, algılanan örgütsel desteğin işle ilgili destek ve duygusal destek olmak üzere iki faktörden oluştuğunu ve her iki faktör ile psikolojik sahiplenme arasında pozitif bir ilişkinin bulunduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Buna ek olarak, sonuçlar dağıtım, etkileşimsel ve işlemsel adaletin çalışana işle ilgili verilen destek ile psikolojik sahiplenme arasında düzenleyici role sahip olduğunu gösterirken, örgütsel adaletin düşük olduğu durumlarda işle ilgili verilen destek ile psikolojik sahiplenme arasında anlamlı bir ilişkinin söz konusu olduğu gibi ilginç bir sonucu da vurgulamaktadır.
