    Employee Ownership: A Field Study
    (Bureau of Business and Economic Research, 1987-04) Pierce, Jon L; Rubenfeld, Stepen A; Morgan, Susan
    In a field study of employee ownership, three dimensions of psychological (i.e., experienced) ownership were examined in relation to the level of experienced common interest and organizational commitment. Worker integration was tested as an intervening variable in the relationship between ownership and the level of employee job satisfaction and alienation. Results suggest that psychologically experienced ownership may not directly give rise to variations in employee attitudes, but this relationship may operate through the degree to which ownership results in an integration of the worker into the organization.

    Employee Ownership: Process and Consequences
    (Bureau of Business and Economic Research, 1987-07-13) Pierce, Jon L; Rubenfeld, Stepen A; Morgan, Susan
    A model is developed that explicates the process through which employee ownership operates upon a set of employee attitudes and work-related behaviors. If legal ownership is operationalized such that it leads to experienced ownership, a psychological bonding (integration) of the employee-owner with the organization occurs. It is through this process that employee ownership exercises its influence upon employee attitudes, motivation, and behavior.
