How and when does founder polychronicity affect new venture performance? The roles of entrepreneurial orientation and firm age

How does organizational polychronicity relate to individual adaptive performance? A conservation of resources perspective

“…Finally, this study contributes to organizational polychronicity and COR theory by identifying the moderating role of trait regulatory focus in the relationship between organizational polychronicity and time pressure. Trait regulatory focus has been proven to change perceptions of pressure in certain work environments (Hwang and Cha, 2018;Li et al, 2023), but few studies have focused on its moderating effects on organizational polychronicity, which is widespread in contemporary work environments (Asghar et al, 2020;Franczak et al, 2024). In addition, few studies have regarded trait regulatory focus as an individual resource according to COR theory.…”

“…Organizational polychronicity is a work requirement to perform multiple tasks simultaneously and switch between them frequently (Asghar et al, 2020;Mattarelli et al, 2015). Existing views have mostly suggested that organizational polychronicity can decrease turnover, and improve individual happiness and job performance (Asghar et al, 2021;Luo et al, 2023;Franczak et al, 2024). However, some findings have confirmed that organizational polychronicity may reduce efficiency, productivity, and task performance (Han and Broniarczyk, 2021).…”

“…However, the role of job characteristics in individual adaptive performance has not received sufficient attention, especially for new characteristics arising from technological changes (Jundt and Shoss, 2023). Specifically, the relationship between organizational polychronicity, a new job characteristic in the digital era (Asghar et al, 2020;Franczak et al, 2024), and individual adaptive performance has also not yet been identified. Therefore, this study aims to explore the mechanisms by which organizational polychronicity affects individual adaptive performance in an attempt to fill this research gap.…”

“…This study aims to contribute to the literature as follows. First, we attempt to clarify the controversy between organizational polychronicity and individual performance (Wu et al, 2020), thereby responding to the call to explore how individual adaptive performance is generated (Park and Park, 2019) and how organizational polychronicity impacts individuals' performance (Wu et al, 2020;Franczak et al, 2024). Second, we examine time pressure as a mediator based on COR theory, thereby responding to calls for exploring the antecedents of time pressure (Eldor et al, 2017) and broadening the theoretical perspectives of organizational polychronicity research (Yang et al, 2023).…”
