The Mediating Role of Employee Voice and Psychological Ownership in the Effect of Transformational Leadership on Organizational Identification

The aim of this study is to determine the mediating role of psychological ownership and employee voice in the effect of transformational leadership on organizational identification. In the study in which quantitative research design is adopted, the sample consists of employees working in small, medium and large-scale enterprises operating in Aksaray. Convenience sampling method was adopted in the study. Data were collected from 431 people through an online survey. Partial least squares path analysis (PLS-SEM) was preferred to analyse the collected data and the analysis was performed using Smart-PLS statistical software. According to the findings obtained from the research data, it was seen that employee voice has a partial mediating role in the effect of transformational leadership on organizational identification. Although psychological ownership reduces the effect of transformational leadership on organizational identification, it was observed that the mediating role was not significant according to the VAF calculation.
