Abstract

PurposeAlthough the sense of entitlement was traditionally associated with a range of maladaptive personality characteristics, the purpose of the current study is to take an initial step to explore a positive implication of psychological entitlement.Design/methodology/approachThe target population for this study comprises employees from various industries in Taiwan. To examine the research hypotheses, structural equation modeling techniques were employed to perform a mediation analysis and conditional process analysis.FindingsThe results of this research showed that career ambition mediates the relationship between psychological entitlement and job involvement, where psychological entitlement is positively related to career ambition, and career ambition is positively related to job involvement. Nonetheless, the authors' data did not support the proposed moderation effect of self-efficacy on the relationship between career ambition and job involvement.Originality/valueThis work is among the first to investigate how an employee's psychological entitlement is associated with his/her job involvement and the boundary conditions that affect this relationship.
权利的积极面:探索心理权利对工作投入的积极影响
目的尽管权利感传统上与一系列不适应的人格特征有关,但本研究的目的是迈出第一步,探索心理权利的积极含义。设计/方法/方法本研究的目标人群包括台湾不同行业的员工。为了检验研究假设,采用结构方程建模技术进行中介分析和条件过程分析。研究结果表明,职业抱负介导了心理权利与工作投入之间的关系,其中心理权利与职业抱负呈正相关,职业抱负与工作投入呈正相关。尽管如此,作者的数据并不支持自我效能感对职业抱负和工作参与之间关系的调节作用。独创性/价值这项工作是第一批调查员工的心理权利如何与他/她的工作参与以及影响这种关系的边界条件相关的工作之一。
