Regulatory focus theory (RFT; Higgins, 1997) can be useful in studying working adults’ goal-pursuing strategies for family and work success (e.g., marital adjustment and job satisfaction). We tested core hypotheses from RFT in a sample (N = 227) of married immigrants living and working in the United States. Confirmatory factor analyses supported the measurement model, and structural equation modeling was used to test study hypotheses. Results supported nearly all the RFT-derived hypotheses. Specifically, a promotion-focus orientation was more strongly associated with adults’ life success than a prevention-focus orientation. A promotion-focused orientation was solely associated with family-to-work enrichment, whereas a prevention-focused orientation was solely associated with family-to-work conflict. Finally, as expected, family-to-work enrichment mediated the association of promotion-focused orientation with job satisfaction. The overall pattern of results suggests RFT has strong potential for understanding adults’ success in their work and family lives, thereby providing a long-needed integrative theory for the multidisciplinary literature.

监管焦点、家庭——工作界面和成人生活的成功

调节焦点理论 (RFT; Higgins, 1997) 可用于研究在职成年人对家庭和工作成功的目标追求策略(例如,婚姻调整和工作满意度)。我们在样本中测试了来自 RFT 的核心假设(N = 227) 在美国生活和工作的已婚移民。验证性因素分析支持测量模型,结构方程模型用于检验研究假设。结果支持几乎所有 RFT 衍生的假设。具体来说,与以预防为重点的方向相比,以促进为重点的方向与成年人的生活成功更密切相关。以晋升为中心的取向仅与家庭与工作的丰富有关,而以预防为中心的取向仅与家庭与工作的冲突有关。最后,正如预期的那样,家庭到工作的丰富化调节了以晋升为中心的定向与工作满意度之间的关联。结果的总体模式表明,RFT 在了解成年人在工作和家庭生活中的成功方面具有很大的潜力,
