| Abstract: | Work characteristics such as time pressure and job control can be experienced as a challenge that is positively associated with performance-related behaviors. Using experience-sampling data from 149 employees, the relationships between these work characteristics and creativity and proactive behavior on a daily level were examined. Results from multilevel analyses indicate that time pressure and job control are perceived as challenging, and that challenge appraisal in turn is related to daily creativity and proactive behavior. Furthermore, cross-level mediation analyses showed that daily work characteristics act as the mechanism behind the relationships between chronic work characteristics and challenge appraisal. |
