Motivation to Lead, Motivation to Follow: The Role of the Self-Regulatory Focus in Leadership Processes (2007, background): “Förster et al. (2003) have shown that a promotion focus leads to faster performance and less accuracy in a simple drawing task, compared to a prevention focus.”
Regulatory Focus, Regulatory Fit, and the Search and Consideration of Choice Alternatives (2010, unknown): “Similarly, in tasks involving trade-offs between speed and accuracy, promotion-focused individuals tend to emphasize speed over accuracy, whereas prevention-focused individuals tend to do the reverse (Fo¨rster, Higgins, and Bianco 2003).”
How Does Leader Humility Influence Team Performance? Exploring the Mechanisms of Contagion and Collective Promotion Focus (2016, unknown): “Certainly, individual-level promotion focus can be induced — either in the laboratory or by a host of contextual factors (Cesario, Grant, & Higgins, 2004; F¨orster, Grant, Idson, & Higgins, 2001; F¨orster, Higgins, & Bianco, 2003).”
CEO Regulatory Foci, Environmental Dynamism, and Small Firm Performance (2010, background): “583 stable personal values and needs, and situational stimuli (e.g., leadership; see Förster, Higgins, and Bianco 2003; Higgins 2000, 1997), levels of promotion focus and prevention focus may change as situational stimuli change, such as when employees are exposed to changes in leadership, work…”
Compromise and Attraction Effects under Prevention and Promotion Motivations (2007, methodology): “…previous research suggesting more heuristic modes of evaluation under promotion versus more systematic modes of evaluation under prevention (Pham and Higgins 2005) and indicating a preference for speed versus accuracy in task completion under promotion focus (Forster, Higgins, and Bianco 2003).”
A Dialectic Perspective on Innovation: Conflicting Demands, Multiple Pathways, and Ambidexterity (2009, background): “Detailed elaboration of information and suspension of early decision making and commitment to a first idea can be as valuable (Forster et al., 2003).”
