Abstract

Locomotion and assessment regulatory modes are two distinct motivational orientations. We found that cross-level regulatory mode complementarity (i.e., the combination of individual locomotion and group assessment, or vice versa) positively impacted work performance. This effect was moderated by task interdependence, such that the complementarity effect occurred only under high interdependence.
