Abstract

Using the data of the China Social Work Longitudinal Study (CSWLS), this paper explores the relationship between peer colleague support and collective psychological ownership of social workers. It examines the moderating role of organizational culture between the two. The study found that social workers' peer colleague support has a significant positive impact on collective psychological ownership, and organizational culture has a significant positive effect on collective psychological ownership; The interaction analysis results show that organizational culture positively regulates the positive impact of peer colleague support on collective psychological ownership. It is suggested that Chinese social work institutions should promote the improvement of collective psychological ownership from three perspectives: promoting the culture of mutual assistance, paying attention to the culture of identity, and easing the culture of competition.
