Psychological Ownership meets the Big Five
Essig, Elena
Psychological Ownership meets the Big Five - 2021.
43
This study draws on the theory of psychological ownership and explores the Big Five Inventory (BFI) personality traits and their antecedents. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors that influence the emergence of psychological ownership feelings in organizations and to study individual differences. Our quantitative study sampled a total of 236 young professionals who completed an auto-evaluation survey. The BFI predictors of organizational psychological ownership were tested using structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis. After breaking down the BFI traits into facets, our study found that all five personality traits at least partially predict psychological ownership toward the organization. Furthermore, gender differences have been identified. We found that an agreeableness facet is a stronger predictor of ownership feelings for men than for women. The conclusions of our study give rise to a discussion about the significant practical implications of psychological ownership feelings for individuals and organizations.
