I'd agree with others that you don't need a complicated theory to explain it. To add to the other suggestions in this thread I would include a historical perspective. Our reliance on a division between owners and workers is an outgrowth of conditions of extreme violence. It was established through military and police power imposing that some people have to work for others. We've eroded some of the most vicious forms (abolishing slavery and establishing basic worker's rights), but the structure has remained the same. That structure is unjust and would cease if we could remove the capacity for individuals to own the outputs of another's work. This is, to me, the most straightforward explanation for why worker ownership should be universal. It's merely a continuation of the abolishment of the same fundamental social structure as serfdom or slavery.
