An examination of the factorial, construct, and predictive validity and utility of the regulatory focus at work scale
通过系列检验，证明工作调节焦点量表（RWS）在预测任务绩效、公民行为、安全绩效和生产力绩效方面，比一般特质性调节焦点测量更有效，对组织行为研究者和HR从业者评估员工动机有参考价值。
Abstract Although interest in regulatory focus research continues to grow, there has been very little work to date on the assessment and usefulness of regulatory focus in the workplace. The present research effort reports the results of a series of studies designed to assess the validity and utility of the Regulatory Focus at Work Scale (RWS). The results indicate that the RWS is reliable, valid, and showed incremental validity beyond general and trait‐like measures of regulatory focus in predicting relevant work outcomes of task performance, citizenship performance, safety performance, and productivity performance. The overall results of these studies support our claims that the RWS shows utility in predicting workplace outcomes and should prove useful for future research on regulatory focus in the workplace.
