调节定向在组织管理研究中的应用述评

A Review of Regulatory Focus in Organizational Management Research

调节定向起源于心理学的动机理论,其法则网络跨越了个体、团队和组织,越来越多地被用于解释组织现象,对管理学研究产生了重要影响。本文首先讨论了调节定向的理论基础,然后从多层视角出发,总结了组织管理中与调节定向相关的研究,如领导力、人力资源管理、创业管理和战略管理等,特别关注了个体与情境之间的调节匹配,指出如何根据环境调整激励策略。此外,本文强调了集体调节定向的作用,认为集体调节定向有助于认识工作场所的激励过程。最后,本文从多层调节匹配、社会影响、动态机制和个体差异四个方面为未来调节定向的研究指明了方向。
