How to Solve the Time Dilemma? The Influence of Team Temporal Leadership on Team Innovation Performance

How time pressure affects the promotive and prohibitive voice of emergency nurses: A cross-sectional study

BACKGROUND

As a developing country, the number of emergency nurses in China is not growing nearly as rapidly as the number of patients, which puts a great deal of stress on emergency nurses' working hours and may thus impede care quality and patient safety.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to investigate the relationship between time pressure and voice behavior and to explore whether temporal leadership acts as a moderator in the relationship between time pressure and voice behavior.

METHODS

Data were collected using scales that have been published in authoritative foreign journals and translated and validated by Chinese scholars. To examine the results more accurately, this paper used the partial least squares (PLS) approach to analyze the research model and verify the research hypothesis.

RESULTS

The results of the path analysis and hypothesis testing showed that challenge time pressure and hindrance time pressure both positively and significantly influenced prohibitive voice and promotive voice, while the moderating effect of temporal leadership on the relationship between time pressure and voice behavior was not significant.

CONCLUSIONS

Our study revealed that challenge time pressure positively influences emergency nurses' promotive voice and motivates them to provide their opinions in a reasonable way, while hindrance time pressure motivates emergency nurses' prohibitive voice, which is not conducive to the improvement of overall organizational functioning and may even damage otherwise good organizational relationships. Furthermore, the study found that the level of temporal leadership does not affect the strength of the relationship between time pressure and voice behavior.

Relationships Between Temporal Leadership, Transactive Memory Systems and Team Innovation Performance

BACKGROUND

In recent years, temporal leadership has gradually attracted academic attention.

PURPOSE

This paper discussed the impact of temporal leadership on team innovation performance.

METHODOLOGY

Through the sample analysis of 385 team members in 98 teams. The measurements of temporal leadership, team innovation performance, transactive memory system, and team reflection were used to measure the relationships between temporal leadership, transactive memory systems and team innovation performance.

FINDINGS/RESULTS

It is found that temporal leadership has a positive impact on team innovation performance, which is transmitted through the credibility dimension and coordination dimension of transactive memory systems. Positive team reflection regulates the relationship between temporal leadership and transactive memory systems.

VALUE

This paper reveals the specific impact mechanism of temporal leadership on team innovation performance and provides a new perspective on how to improve team innovation performance in limited time resources.

Temporal Team Mental Model and Performance: From the Perspective of Team Process

This paper, based on the survey data of 506 knowledge-based innovation team leaders, employed the regression model and adopted the bootstrap method, to explore the influence of the temporal team mental model on team performance from the perspective of team process. The study results showed that the temporal team mental model has a significant positive predictive effect on team performance; behavioral integration has a mediating effect between temporal team mental model and team performance; task complexity positively moderates the relationship between behavioral integration and team performance and moderates the mediating effects of behavioral integration.

Every coin has two sides: the impact of time pressure on employees’ knowledge hiding

Purpose

Time pressure is the most common kind of work pressure that employees face in the workplace; the existing research results on the effect of time pressure are highly controversial (positive, negative, inverted U-shaped). Especially in the era of knowledge economy, there remains a research gap in the impact of time pressure on individual knowledge hiding. The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of different time pressure (challenge and hindrance) on knowledge hiding and to explain why there is controversy about the effect of time pressure in the academics.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors collected two waves of data and surveyed 341 R&D employees in China. Moreover, they used regression analysis, bootstrapping and Johnson–Neyman statistical technique to verify research hypotheses.

Findings

The results show that challenge time pressure (CTP) has a significant negative effect on knowledge hiding, whereas hindrance time pressure (HTP) has a significant positive effect on knowledge hiding; job security mediates the relationship between time pressure and knowledge hiding; temporal leadership strengthen the positive impact of CTP on job security; temporal leadership can mitigate the negative impact of HTP on job security.

Originality/value

The findings not only respond to the academic debate about the effect of time pressure and point out the reasons for the controversy but also enhance the scholars’ attention and understanding of the internal mechanism between time pressure and knowledge hiding.
