PublicationTurning Agents into Psychological Principals: Aligning Interests of Non-Owners Through Psychological OwnershipPrincipals who delegate tasks to agents face the perennial challenge of overcoming agency problems. We investigate whether feelings of ownership among senior managers in the absence of formal ownership can align agents' interests with those of principals, thus turning agents into psychological principals. Using a moderated mediation model, we find that psychological ownership is positively related to company performance through the mediating effect of individual-level entrepreneurial behaviour. We also find that the effect of psychological ownership on individual-level entrepreneurial behaviour and, ultimately, company performance is weaker for high levels of monitoring compared to low levels. These findings offer important contributions to agency, psychological ownership, and entrepreneurship literatures.Type: journal articleJournal: Journal of Management StudiesVolume: 50Issue: 3DOI: 10.1111/joms.12017

PublicationEntrepreneurial Middle-level Managers : The Roles of Psychological Ownership & Organizational FactorsDespite the importance of middle-level managers� entrepreneurial behavior there is still a lack of knowledge about its determinants. Especially the role of individual-level factors and their interactions with organizational antecedents are unclear. Based on a sample of 403 middle-level managers this paper introduces psychological ownership as individual-level trigger for their entrepreneurial behavior. The analysis of combination of psychological ownership and established organizational antecedents reveals that management support strengthens the psychological ownership - entrepreneurial behavior relationship, whereas no moderation effects are found for work discretion and rewards/reinforcement. These findings constitute valuable contributions to entrepreneurial behavior and psychological ownership literature, as well as to practice.Type: conference paperVolume: Paper Session 1038

PublicationFamily Influence and Psychological Ownership: The Mediating Effects of ControlThe concept of psychological ownership (PO) has been increasingly researched in the last years. However, knowledge about the emergence of PO is still scarce. So far, no study has investigated the development of PO in the context of family firms. We aim to investigate the emergence of PO in that context by drawing on the family´s influence on the business as a decisive factor. We thereby elaborate on the effect of family influence on PO, mediated by non-family managers´ perceived control over the company.Type: conference paper
