Four studies conducted in diverse organizational contexts examined preferences and fit between two regulatory modes, referred to as “locomotion” and “assessment” (Higgins, Kruglanski, & Pierro, 2003; Kruglanski, et al., 2000), and leadership styles practiced by supervisors over their subordinates. The locomotion mode constitutes the aspect of self-regulation that is concerned with movement from state to state, and the assessment mode constitutes the aspect of self-regulation that is concerned with making comparisons. The present studies consistently show that individuals high in locomotion prefer a “forceful” leadership style, represented by “coercive”, “legitimate”, and “directive” kinds of strategic influence, whereas individuals high in assessment prefer an “advisory” leadership style, represented by “expert”, “referent”, and “participative” kinds of strategic influence. Consistent with regulatory fit theory (Higgins, 2000), the job satisfaction of subordinates was found to be higher when the style of strategic influence practiced by their supervisor fit their regulatory mode orientation (high locomotion/“forceful” style; high assessment/“advisory” style).
