The researcher also utilized the statistical tools mean, standard deviation, correlation coefficient, and hierarchical regression analysis. The sample was obtained using an adopted questionnaire to gather the data. The researcher used a stratified sampling technique. The results revealed that the participants had high levels of psychological ownership, organizational citizenship behavior, and job performance.
