Abstract

Encountering workplace ostracism produces defensive psychology and fights back with territorial behavior tit-for-tat. Understanding such psychological fences and behavioral quirks that are detrimental to career development and workplace ecology has become an important research issue in current enterprise management. Drawing upon the conservation of resources (COR) theory, this study proposed theoretical hypotheses and model, and constructed structural equation model to empirically analyze how workplace ostracism positively affects territorial behavior by enhancing employees’ prevention-focused psychological ownership. Significant results were obtained through a hierarchical regression analysis of data from 232 employees, results show that workplace ostracism positively related to employees' prevention-focused psychological ownership and territorial behavior. Prevention-focused psychological ownership played a partial mediating role between workplace ostracism and employee territorial behavior. This study revealed the deep logic of generating prevention-focused psychology and territorial behavior after encountering workplace ostracism, and provided theoretical references and management inspiration for enterprises to decipher negative psychology behaviors in the workplace.
