Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the predictive power of each dimension of public service motivation on psychological ownership in a Taiwan sample. The sample consisted of 1087 employees from four government-owned enterprises. The research found that for all government-owned enterprises compassion was significantly negatively correlated with psychological ownership, while commitment to the public interest and self-sacrifice were significantly positively correlated with psychological ownership. Moreover, theoretical and practical implications of the results are discussed.
