Relationship between perceived organizational support and job performance of employees in private organizations: The Mediating role of psychological ownership
Abstract:
This study investigated the mediating role of psychological ownership in the relationship between perceived organizational support and job performance among employees in private organizations. Data were collected from 274 employees who were working at least 1 year in private organizations in Bangkok, Thailand. By using a questionnaire consisting of the Perceived Organizational Support Scale, the Job-Based Psychological Ownership Scale, the Organization-Based Psychological Ownership Scale, the In-Role Performance Scale and the Extra-Role Performance Scale. All scale reliabilities were between .93 to .95. The data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squared Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results showed that job-based psychological ownership acted significantly as the mediating role in the relationship between perceived organizational support and in-role and extra-role performance. Moreover, organization-based psychological ownership also mediated the relationship between perceived organizational support and extra-role performance but not in the relationship between perceived organizational support and in-role performance. The finding can be applied in human resource management.
