Abstract
The rising uncertainty and growing competitiveness among modern organizations call for concerted efforts from all stakeholders. It is desirable that employees shun job myopia and adopt generous outlook (flexible role orientation or FRO) while defining their job scope. Present study empirically examines the role of participative decision making (PDM) and job autonomy in developing FRO in a moderated mediation model. A questionnaire survey (N=338) was conducted in a large Indian IT company and it was found that both PDM and job autonomy were positively
related to FRO through psychological ownership. This mediated relationship was further moderated by role breadth self-efficacy. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings were discussed and future research possibilities are suggested.
