Transformational Leadership and Followers Regulatory Focus: Effects on Risk-Taking Behavior and Energizing Relationships

The major purpose of this study is to explore the effects of regulatory fit between perceived transformational leadership and followers regulatory focus on followers risk taking behavior and energizing relationships. We used survey data from 178 full-time workers in Korea in our analyses. Based on the theoretical premise that transformational leaders are likely to evoke a promotion focus in followers, we hypothesized and found that: (a) as followers perceived transformational leadership, their energizing relationships with leaders were strengthened, and (b) when followers were in chronic promotion (or prevention) focus, the dependent variables were more strengthened as they perceived transformational leadership. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings as well as limitations and future research directions are discussed.
