Higgins(1997, 1998)主張個體具增進焦點與預防焦點兩種不同的快樂主義之自我調節系統,增進焦點個體對於獲得、正向結果的感覺是敏銳的;相對地,預防焦點個體對於彼等失去的損失成感覺具有敏銳度。本研究針對調節焦點現存研究缺口切入,針對轉換型領導、調節焦點、工作滿足與組織承諾間關係建立研究模型,並以警政署500名現職員工作為問卷調查對象,運用結構方程模式進行資料分析。結果發現:(1)轉換型領導會顯著正向影響增進焦點與工作滿足,也會透過增進焦點的中介,正向影響工作滿足;(2)增進焦點、預防焦點會顯著正向的影響組織承諾;(3)工作滿足會顯著正向影響組織承諾。本研究針對研究發現所呈現之實務意涵、研究限制與未來研究方向進行討論。
Higgins (1997, 1998) suggested people have two distinct hedonic self-regulatory systems, promotion self-regulatory focus and prevention self-regulatory focus. Individuals in promotion focus are sensitive to the presence of gains and positive results. On the other hand, individuals in prevention focus are sensitive to the absence of losses. This study is aimed at these research gaps in the regulatory focus theory, develops and tests a research model in Taiwan's National Police Administration setting, which investigates the relationship among transformational leadership, regulatory focus, job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The subjects of this study are 500 full-time employees in National Police Administration of Taiwan. Structural Equation Modeling was used to test this study model. These results are that transformational leadership has a significant positively influence on promotion focus and job satisfaction. The role of promotion focus plays a mediator in the relationship transformational leadership between and job satisfaction. In addition, both of promotion focus and prevention focus have significant positively influence on organizational commitment. Job satisfaction will significantly influence organizational commitment. Implications, limitations and directions of future research are discussed.
