Workplace tele pressure and innovative work performance. A moderation mediation study through work-family conflicts and job burnout

Abstract

Purpose – This study explores the impact of workplace tele pressure on innovative work performance. The study also tests the mediating effect of the work-family conflict and the moderating influence of job burnout between the work-family conflict and innovative work performance. Design/methodology/approach – Data for the present study were collected through structured questionnaires from 285 employees working in the public and private sector universities. Data were analysed through SPSS and Smart-PLS. Findings – Results confirmed the relationship between workplace tele pressure and innovative work performance, the mediating effect of work-family conflict between workplace tele pressure and innovative work performance and the moderating influence of job burnout between work-family conflicts and innovative work performance. Originality/value – This study model is supported by the job demands-control model and effort-recovery theory, which is being tested for the first time to support the relationship between workplace tele pressure and innovative work performance. Further, the model “workplace tele pressure → work-family conflicts → job burnout→innovative work performance” was developed and tested for the first time to study the technologybased pressure in the education sector. Keywords Workplace tele pressure, Work-family conflicts, Job burnout, Innovative work performance, Job demands-resource theory, Effort-recovery theory
