动机是人类行为活动的源泉和动力,但现有研究并不能很好地解释动机是如何产生以及通过何种方式和路径实现的。调节焦点理论的提出弥补了这一理论空白。在此,对调节焦点理论的提出和内涵进行了简要介绍,区分了特质调节焦点和情境调节焦点,整理了两种调节焦点的测量工具。然后,通过聚焦调节焦点理论在组织管理中的应用,在综合归纳两种调节焦点的影响因素和作用结果的基础上,深入分析了调节焦点对工作结果的影响机制。最后,对未来有关研究的发展趋势进行了展望。
Motivation is the source and drive of human's action.Probably no motivational principle has received more attention than the hedonic principle that people gain pleasure and avoid pain,but it does not distinguish the different approaches and avoidance operated.Regulatory focus theory serves this purpose.This article focuses on the application of regulatory focus in organizational management.It gives a brief introduction to the regulatory focus theory,identifies the chronic regulatory foci and situational regulatory foci,and presents their measurement scales.It also explores the antecedents,consequences and mechanism of regulatory foci and finally expresses a need for future research.
