Liderlik motivasyonu: Düzenleyici odak, rol modeller ve liderlik kaygısının rolü

The aim of the present study was to investigate the relations among regulatory focus, selective information processing about role models, role model evaluation, fear of leadership and motivation to lead. The data were collected from 248 currently employed and 77 currently not employed people. Findings indicated that prevention focus was negatively correlated with motivation to lead, whereas promotion focus was positively correlated with motivation to lead. Moreover, role model evaluation mediated the relation between promotion focus and motivation to lead. In addition, fear of leadership moderated the relation between promotion focus and role model evaluation. Contrary to our expectations, selective information processing about role model did not correlate with any of the variables. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
