| description |
Research on the impact of psychological ownership and its antecedents is at an
inchoate stage. Earlier studies have considered only work factors as antecedents of
psychological ownership. This study introduces non-work factors as potential
antecedents. Work factors comprise of autonomy, participative decision-making and
job tenure, while non-work factors consists of self-efficacy and locus of control. This
study also investigates the impact of psychological ownership on job performance
mediated through job commitment and job satisfaction. Unlike previous studies, this
study has been carried out in an eastern setting.
The study was carried out amongst lecturers in business schools of public universities
in Malaysia. Questionnaires were distributed through paper and online survey. Three
hundred and twenty nine (329) academicians participated in this study. The data
analyses reveal that, with regards to work factors, only autonomy and participative
decision-making are positively related to psychological ownership. In terms of nonwork
factors, self-efficacy and locus of control have a stronger influence on psychological ownership, compared to work factors. This study measured job
performance as a multidimensional construct with three dimensions (teaching,
publication and ESP [Editorial, Supervisory and Professional]) using actual and
perceived performance ratings. Findings indicate that psychological ownership is
positively related to job performance, job commitment and job satisfaction.
Theoretically, this study depicts the importance of dispositional traits as predictors of
psychological ownership, and psychological ownership as a determinant of employee
performance. Practically, this study provides a mechanism to improve job
performance of academicians in Malaysian public universities. The present study
indicates ways to develop psychological ownership among lecturers as well as
recommends administrators to incorporate personality tests in recruiting academic
staffs in universities. On the whole, this study contributes to the present knowledge of
psychological ownership by integrating several antecedents and outcomes in a single,
comprehensive model of psychological ownership. |
