• The role of basic psychological needs satisfaction in the relationship between transformational leadership and innovative work behavior (2021, background): “…theoretical accounts such as action regulation theory according to which employees regulate their behavior by searching the social work environment for action-relevant information or signals such as encouragement by one's supervisor to introduce and apply innovative ideas (Zacher & Frese, 2018).”
• Achieving Work-Family Balance: An Action Regulation Model (2019, methodology): “Based on an action regulation framework (Frese & Zapf, 1994; Zacher & Frese, 2018), we presume that people search for action-relevant information such as resources or barriers for goal attainment (i.e., orientation) and develop action strategies for goal attainment based on this information.”
