Abstract

The present study intends to explain the relationship between justice and organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) by assessing the role of psychological ownership as a mediator. It also responds to the call from scholars for conducting more research towards antecedents of psychological ownership. It is proposed (and later empirically tested) that perceived fairness (perception) in organisation leads to development of ownership feeling (attitude) for the organisation which, in turn, results in demonstration of OCB (behaviour). Impact of different dimensions of justice on psychological ownership and organisation-based and individual-based citizenship behaviour (OCB-O and OCB-I respectively) is investigated. Employees from a major Indian IT company participated in the study and both online and paper-based questionnaire survey methods were used to minimise common method variance. Subsequent analyses revealed differential nature of relationship of different justice dimensions with ownership and OCB-O and OCB-I. Also relationship between justice dimensions and OCB dimensions were variously mediated by psychological ownership. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed and directions for future research are suggested.
