Abstract
Micro-foundations of ambidexterity—the psychological underpinnings that enable the individual level exploration-exploitation behavior by managers—is a topic that is attracting increasing scholarly attention. However, the extant research on temporal ambidexterity and the reasoning why managers decide to explore or exploit at a particular point of time is still scarce. In this chapter, drawing upon research on regulatory focus (a trait-like construct that can shift due to contextual influences), we establish a theoretical grounding and build a conceptual model for managers’ temporal ambidexterity. More specifically, we develop a dynamic model where we show how short-term and long-term performance aspirations and the received feedback affect managers’ exploration and exploitation choices. This chapter introduces the regulatory focus construct into the Handbook, and the model provides a feasible starting point for theorizing and empirical work on individual-level temporal ambidexterity.
