Özet:

 

Psychological ownership reflects an individual’s awareness, thoughts, and beliefs
 regarding the target of ownership (Avey et al, 2009). Locus of control defined as
 the general belief that individual’s successes, failures and outcomes are controlled
 by individual’s actions and behaviors (internal); or perhaps, people’s
 achievements, failures and outcomes are controlled by other forces like chance,
 luck and fate (external) (Rotter, 1966). Individuals with high internal locus of
 control experience higher levels of psychological ownership. Organizational
 commitment can be defined as a strong belief in and acceptance of an
 organization’s goals and values, a willingness to exert considerable effort on
 behalf of the organization, and a strong desire to maintain membership in the
 organization (Allen and Meyer, 1990). Scholars examined the link between
 psychological ownership of the organization and positive employee attitudes as
 organizational commitment.
 The purpose of this study is to examine the mediating role of psychological
 ownership on the relationship between internal locus of control and organizational
 commitment. Allen and Meyer’s (1990) organizational commitment scale,
 Rotter’s (1966) locus of control scale and Avey and his colleagues’ (2009)
 psychological ownership scale were used to collect data for the study. The
 findings of this study is valuable from many aspects that psychological ownership
 is a new area in organizational behavior literature and this study indicates 
 antecedent’s and consequence’s of psychological ownership in information
 technology sector.
