Psychological Ownership, Organizational Identification, Presenteeism, Moderating Role of Marital StatusAbstract
This study investigates whether marital status shapes the association between psychological ownership and organizational identification, considering presenteeism as an intervening mechanism. A survey was conducted with 386 employees working in various health institutions in Konya. The instruments were validated through exploration factor analysis and reliability analyses. Hypotheses were tested using Hayes’ PROCESS Macro framework. Findings revealed that psychological ownership significantly contributes to organizational identification. The results further indicate a conditional indirect effect through presenteeism. In addition, marital status was found to significantly moderate this indirect effect, indicating a moderated mediation relationship.
