Abstract. Knowledge on how to improve employees’ daily innovative performance is imperative, because innovation contributes importantly to organizational competitiveness. We tested a model in which daily use of selection, optimization, and compensation (SOC) strategies mediates the relationship between daily job autonomy and daily innovative performance. Moreover, we predicted that the association between daily SOC strategy use and daily innovative performance is stronger on days when time pressure is high (vs. low). Hypotheses were tested using a daily diary study in which employees filled out a short questionnaire at the end of their workday for a period of five workdays ( N = 91; 381 daily entries). Results of structural equation modeling analyses supported our mediation, but not our moderation hypothesis.

Despite widespread consensus that income is an important predictor of life satisfaction, the precise affective forces that drive this relationship remain unclear. We propose that income is positively associated with life satisfaction because financial resources reduce the negative impact that everyday difficulties have on individuals; these hassles rebound off the rich but pierce the poor. Specifically, we hypothesize that financial scarcity is associated with greater distress intensity but not a higher frequency of distressing episodes. Furthermore, we propose that lower perceived control helps explain why financial scarcity predicts higher distress intensity, and underlies the relationship between financial scarcity and life satisfaction. We provide evidence for these hypotheses through a daily diary study with 522 participants and 13,733 observations. Our theory and results combine to suggest that financial resources appear to serve an important function in promoting life satisfaction by reducing the intensity of distressing episodes when they arise.

Abstract. Previous research indicates that socially prescribed perfectionism (SPP) and self-oriented perfectionism (SOP) are associated with extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, respectively. However, little is known about the impact of daily intrinsic and extrinsic motivated goals on affect in perfectionists. This daily diary study examined the extent to which perfectionism moderates the relationship between motivation (intrinsic and extrinsic) and affect (including self-conscious emotions). Participants ( N = 132) varying in levels of perfectionism completed 14 days of online surveys that included questions about pursuit of daily goals and affect. SOP did not predict the covariation of types of motivation and affect. SPP, by contrast, predicted the covariation of extrinsic motivation and guilt (and pride). Results suggest that for people high on SPP, pursuing extrinsic motivated goals is associated with higher levels of guilt and lower levels of pride. Future directions and implications are discussed.
