The food-processing industry emphasizes employee compliance to food-safety standards to prevent distribution of contaminated foods. Regulatory fit theory was tested to examine the applicability of self-regulation constructs as potential components of person-job fit. In contexts emphasizing safety, workers higher in prevention should experience greater person-job fit, thus prevention focus should relate to desirable outcomes. Poultry-processing workers (n = 180) completed a work-related regulatory focus scale as part of a survey including a set of outcome measures. Consistent with theory, prevention focus scores related to self-reported positive work outcomes (job effectiveness, satisfaction, efficacy, enjoyment, involvement), and relationships were statistically mediated by perceived regulatory fit. Results have implications for selection practices and suggest ways work can be structured to enhance job performance. |
