It refers to an individual's evaluation of his/her self-worth, adequacy, and importance as a member of the organization. A study develops and tests a theoretical model linking OBSE with a set of antecedent variables: organizational structure, job complexity and job status. Regression analysis, after controlling for the contaminating effects of age, revealed that organizational structure and certain components of job complexity were significant predictors of OBSE. Job status, however, was found to be not significant.
