Reviews / Votes
'This Handbook makes an important and timely contribution by systematizing and elevating the concept of psychological ownership-a construct that remains still relatively under-recognized in management and organizational research compared to its explanatory power and wide-ranging relevance. By bringing together a rich collection of chapters spanning domains such as finance, innovation, education, sustainability, and technology, the volume demonstrates how ownership mindsets shape the ways people engage with their work, roles, and environments. The editors have done an excellent job in curating a volume that consolidates key insights while pushing the boundaries of the field in fresh directions. Many chapters are distinctive for their originality and practical relevance. This is a timely and valuable resource for researchers, educators, and practitioners seeking to engage more deeply with the dynamics and consequences of psychological ownership in contemporary organizations.' -- Daniel Pittino, Joenkoeping International Business School, SwedenMore details
