摘要：Using a multilevel approach and a nationally representative sample of 5,478 social workers from 813 social service organisations in China, this study investigated the association between collective psychological ownership (CPO), an emerging construct of psychosocial resources characterised by sharedness, and social workers' turnover intention by controlling for psychological demands (i.e. emotional exhaustion and role ambiguity) and psychological resources (i.e. self-perceived autonomy, self-perceived and composite person-organisation value congruence, and self-perceived and composite social support). The results showed that CPO conceptualised as both individual- and organisational-level psychosocial resources were negatively associated with social workers' turnover intention. The findings of the study will draw implications for keeping social workers and other helping professionals in their organisations by practicing co-workers' shared agency and joint actions defined in terms of collective decision-making and hardship endurance. In view of the great cost brought by a high level of turnover rate, the management of social service organisations (SSOs) is keen to learn about the antecedents leading to social workers' turnover intention in relation to the complex interplay of different psychological demands and resources in organisational contexts. Using a nationally representative sample of 5,478 social workers from 813 SSOs in China and a multilevel approach to analyse data at individual and group levels, this study investigated the association between collective psychological ownership (CPO), an emerging construct of psychosocial resources characterised by shared agency and joint action, and social workers' turnover intention by controlling for psychological demands and resources. In this article, psychological demands refer to emotional exhaustion and role ambiguity; psychological resources refer to self-perceived autonomy and to person-organisation value congruence and social support understood on both individual and group levels. The results showed that CPO conceptualised as both individual and organisational psychosocial resources were negatively associated with social workers' turnover intention. The findings of the study will inform the research on and practice of human resources management in SSOs.
