Regulatory focus theory in organization field setting is a hotly issues. Past researched have demonstrated these two different focus have different attitudes and behaviors, including as promotion-focused individuals are more risky seeking, high productive, and high speed; whereas prevention-focused individuals are more conservative seeking, and high safety, and high correct. However, past empirical researches were predominately discussed these two regulatory focus have different behavior outcomes. Regulatory focus theory application into the relationship between leadership and his/ her subordinate dyadic interaction is rare. As a result, we conducted a survey of a sample from 360 employees of a big pharmaceutical company in Taiwan. The study proposes that transformational leadership is positive related to his/her subordinate’s state of work-related promotion focus (Hypothesis 1a); whereas transactional leadership is positive related to his/her subordinate’s state of work-related prevention focus (Hypothesis 1b). Further, subordinate with work-related promotion focus will acts as mediating role in the relationship between transformational leadership and subordinate’s affective commitment (Hypothesis 2a) and OCB (Hypothesis 3a). On the contrary, subordinate with work-related prevention focus will acts as mediating role in the relationship between transactional leadership and subordinate’s normative commitment (Hypothesis 2b) and OCB (Hypothesis 3b). We will use time-lagged design to collect data at two time points. At time1, subordinates evaluated their direct supervisor’s transformational and transactional leadership and themselves’ demographic background. At time2, after six months, subordinates evaluated their work-related regulatory focus and their commitment and OCB. We believe this research will contribute to literature in leadership and regulatory focus theories.
