Köprü Kuran Sosyal Sermaye, Psikolojik Sahiplenme ve Birey-Örgüt Uyumu Arasındaki İlişkilerin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Although there has been plenty of studies examining the results of the concept of psychological ownership, which was introduced twenty years ago, yet relatively less attention has been paid to the factors affecting this concept. Based on the literature, we wondered if bridging social capital, a phenomenon forms social coexistence, would be a determinant of psychological capital. Hence, the aim of this study is to examine the effect of bridging social capital on psychological ownership and reveal the mediating role of person-organization fit in the relationship between these two variables. For this purpose, quantitative research methods were used to achieve this aim. The data collected from 259 students studying at Police Vocational Training Centers were analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach. According to the results of the analysis, social capital had a positive effect on psychological ownership and person-organization fit mediated this relationship. It is argued that the study is original with the way of incorporating the variables. In addition to contributing to the relevant literature, it is also aimed to provide some suggestions for employees and managers in the light of the results of the research. Also, the limitations of the study and the future directions were shared.
