Identifier	Thesis 1967
Author	Barzee, James P., 1961-
Title	Mediation of Participatory Decision Making and Organizational Citizenship Behavior in Employee-Owned Organizations
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2008
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	Given the substantial increase in the number of employee-owned companies between 1974 and 2005, it is important to understand whether the perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors of employees working for these companies differ from those of employees working in traditional non-employee-owned companies. In traditional companies, the owners (stockholders, partners, members, etc.) are not necessarily employees of the company. This is not the case in employee-owned organizations such as worker cooperatives, worker collectives and organizations with an employee stock plan. In these types of organizations, employees are given the opportunity to hold an ownership interest in the organization. From a psychological standpoint, a key difference between traditional companies and employee-owned companies is the degree to which employees are given opportunities to participate in decisions that affect their job and the organization. This study examined the relationship between participatory decision making (PDM) and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) among employees working in employee-owned companies. It was predicted that employees who reported greater PDM would be more likely to engage in OCB. Two mediation hypotheses were tested. First, it was hypothesized that psychological sense of community would mediate the PDM-OCB relationship. Second, it was hypothesized that employee's perception of psychological ownership would mediate the PDM-OCB relationship. One hundred twenty-eight workers (55% male, 42% female) from 11 different employee-owned companies completed an online survey. A positive relationship was found between PDM and OCB, as hypothesized. Mediation effects were found for psychological sense of community, but not for psychological ownership. Differences between organization types were found with employees of worker cooperatives reporting greater psychological sense of community than employees working in an organization with an employee stock plan. These findings suggest that participating in decision making causes employees to experience a psychological sense of community, which leads to OCB.
