Sense of ownership indicates that people feel 'true owners' of, for example, a function or role, a project, assignment or theme, a team, department or even the organization as a whole. Ownership is an important condition for motivation to contribute and to take responsibility for a specific task. This for example can refer to the motivation of teachers or of pupils to take responsibility in strengthening inclusiveness in their school or classroom.
When people feel ownership for something, they are more willing and motivated to take responsibility.
