Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between employees’ perception of authentic leadership and their Promotive Psychological Ownership and Preventive Psychological Ownership. For this purpose, the survey-analytical method of research was used. Population of this research consists of line staff of Iran Insurance Company in Tehran. A sample of 129 employees was selected randomly based on Morgan table to endow research data. Research instrument included psychological ownership questionnaire (Olckers, 2011) and Authentic Leadership questionnaire (Avilio, 2007). Reliability and validity of aforementioned questionnaires were confirmed on the basis of content validity and construct validity as well as calculated acceptable Cronbach's Alpha coefficient. In addition, for data analyzing and research hypothesis test, Structural Equation Modeling and Friedman test were used, by means of SPSS and Amos software. Research findings indicated that there is a significant positive relationship between authentic leadership and promotive psychological ownership. However, this study did not provide enough evidence for meaningful relationship between preventive psychological ownership and territoriality with authentic leadership. Furthermore, there is a positive relationship between components/factorials of self-awareness, internalized moral perspective, relational transparency and balanced processing of information and self-efficacy, belongingness, self-identity and accountability factorials. However, there is no semantic relationship between internalized moral perspective and territoriality.
