- Abstract
- This study extends regulatory fit theory by exploring boundary conditions
of the temporal fit/nonfit effect on subordinate creativity. We propose
that fit (nonfit) between subordinates regulatory focus and the temporal
distance of a leader-stipulated task enhances subordinate creativity under
task-enjoyment (performance-concern) conditions. Data supported the
nonfit hypothesis among promotion-focused subordinates: Subordinates
who were more promotion-focused showed greater creativity after recalling
a leader-stipulated, temporally near task when they concentrated on doing
well rather than on enjoying the task. Prevention-focused subordinates showed no such patterns for creativity. Implications for managing employee
creativity in the competitive, performance-pressured organizational and
business environment are discussed.
