Resumen
This study applies psychological ownership theory (J. L. Pierce, T. Kostova, & K. Dirks, 2003) in an attempt to explain the complexity of factors influencing students� satisfaction and commitments toward their programs. The proposed framework evaluates psychological ownership through the following antecedents: perceived control, sense of belonging, student involvement, and identification. The sample includes students from 4 hospitality programs in the United States and Canada. The relationships between psychological ownership and satis- faction and commitment are tested with structural equation modeling. The results provide new knowledge about affective and psychological factors that contribute to students� satisfaction and commitment
