Performance pressure and innovative work behaviour: The role of problem-orientated daydreams

The study advances stress and daydreaming (mind wandering) literature by exploring the relationship between performance pressure and innovative work behaviour. We examine whether problem-orientated daydreams mediate the relationship between performance pressure and innovative work behaviour. We also...

description The study advances stress and daydreaming (mind wandering) literature by exploring the relationship between performance pressure and innovative work behaviour. We examine whether problem-orientated daydreams mediate the relationship between performance pressure and innovative work behaviour. We also investigate the mediating role of problem-orientated daydreams between performance pressure and task performance. A cross-sectional survey was conducted amongst academicians in India. A theoretical model was tested using structural equation modelling techniques. The results indicate that problem-orientated daydreams mediate the relationship between performance pressure and innovative work behaviour. Further, results also support the hypothesised relationship between performance pressure and task performance mediated by problem-orientated daydreams. Our results hold while controlling for gender and institutional tenure for our hypothesised model.
