Abstract

Building upon the widespread observation that individuals develop feelings of ownership for a variety of objects (material as well as immaterial), the construct of psychological ownership is conceptually defined and examined in the context of the organization. In addition, the "roots" of psychological ownership and the primary "routes" associated with its development are identified. Finally, a set of research propositions are provided to guide inquiry into the development of psychological ownership in organizations.
