Abstract: This research examines the relationship between psychological strain, self-regulation, and informal accountability for others (IAFO). Our study attempts to enhance organizational research by demonstrating the moderating effect of self-regulation, a form of attention control, on the strain and IAFO relationship. We test hypotheses using data collected in an organizational sample of 105 working adults. Findings indicate that self-regulation moderates the strain – IAFO relationship for those who are not able to focus well on specific job tasks. The paper concludes with a discussion of managerial implications, the study’s relevant strengths, limitations and directions for future research.
