ONE PERSON, TWO OUTCOMES: WHY AND HOW MANAGER PROMOTIVE AND PREVENTIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL OWNERSHIP INFLUENCE VOICE ENDORSEMENT

Integrating the literature on psychological ownership (PO) and regulatory focus theory, this study explores why and how managers' promotive and preventive PO influence voice endorsement. Results from a time-lagged field study and an experimental scenario study reveals that managers' promotive PO is positively, while preventive PO is negatively related to voice endorsement through openness to change. Moreover, the group promotive voice strengthens the positive indirect effect of managers' promotive PO on voice endorsement via openness to change, whereas group prohibitive voice strengthens the negative indirect effect of preventive PO. Theoretical and practical implications of these results are also discussed.
