Description
Summary:Drawing on the regulatory focus theory, this study aims to investigate the effect of frontline staff's promotion regulatory focus on service performance. Using a time-lagged design and data from 347 frontline staff in 123 branches of a hotel chain, we examine a mediated moderation model. We posit job crafting mediates the relationship between promotion regulatory focus and service performance. This relationship is moderated by empowering leadership, and job resources mediate the moderation effect. We discuss the implications of our findings for research on job crafting and regulatory focus theory.
