“…Furthermore, psychological ownership has important emotional, attitudinal, and behavioral effects on employees that experience ownership (Pierce et al 2001). Many scholars are interested in what constitutes employees' ownership and its outcomes (Avey et al, 2009).

A B S T R A C TThis study focuses on examining the role of psychological ownership in internal marketing. Specifically, this study explores the relationships between psychological ownership, organizational identification, and turnover intention. Two hundred forty-six employees participated in this study. The results of structural equation modeling revealed that the two components of psychological ownership were associated with increased organizational identification and reduced turnover intention. These findings indicate that psychological ownership might be a positive precedent factor for employees' organizational identification. Furthermore, organizational identification felt by employees plays an important role in decreasing overall turnover intention. The study contributes to our understanding of employees' psychology and behavior in their workplace and suggests ways to successfully conduct internal marketing and manage human resources.

SummaryThe evidence is clear regarding applied science's longstanding fascination with the negative aspects of organizational life. The purpose of this special issue of the Journal of Organizational Behavior is to tangibly demonstrate that the concept of a ''positive psychology'' is gaining importance in both psychology and organizational behavior. To that end, our lead article focuses on five topic areas. First, we provide a limited historical backdrop of positive organizational research. Second, we suggest the theoretical basis for why the current overwhelming emphasis on the negative. Next, we introduce the seven peer refereed articles contained in this special issue which, when considered together, highlight the varied application and potentially widespread benefits of studying the positive in organizational research. Fourth, incorporating the ''point/counterpoint'' JOB framework, we offer two varying, but insightful, perspectives on positive organizational research by Luthans and Avolio and Hackman. Finally, the article concludes with a discussion of how emerging research on the positive can be used to help build a stronger science of organizational behavior.

In general, developing accountability-based moral ownership entails clarifying what is expected of the individual in his or her role and recognizing that individual for stepping up and taking appropriate responsibility or action (Avey et al ., 2009). It was associated with one's self-identity that they can become viewed as an extension of the self.…”

Abstract. Conducting a survey in multiple organizations (mainly in public utilities) in South China, with 73.56% response rate of 331 employees, by using questionnaire with convenience sampling and stratified sampling to get sample data, the relationship among ethical climate, moral ownership and moral efficacy were examined. Using SPSS 22.0 to conduct data analysis, we found support for our hypothesized models that (1) ethical climate will have positively impact on moral efficacy (2) Moral ownership can moderate relationship between ethical climate and moral efficacy, such that the relationship is weaker when moral ownership is high. In the later, we provide theoretical and practical implications of these findings and limitation, as well as suggestions for future avenues for researches and practice.
