Abstract

This study investigates the impact of employee share ownership (ESO) on company performance and governance, focusing on the mediating role of psychological factors. Using SOMFY Tunisia as a case study, we analyzed data from 50 employees participating in an ESO plan. Results indicate that ESO significantly positively influences employee engagement, job satisfaction, and perceptions of governance. These psychological factors, in turn, mediate the relationship between ESO and company performance. Employee-shareholders demonstrate higher commitment, leading to improved individual performance and active participation in company projects. Furthermore, ESO positively impacts overall employee satisfaction, fostering a more participatory corporate culture. These findings suggest that ESO is a strategic tool for enhancing organizational performance by positively influencing employee attitudes and behaviors. However, limitations due to sample size and context should be considered, and further research is needed to generalize these results.
