员工从事活动的个人时间有限，这些活动使他们能够从苛刻的工作环境中恢复过来并以高水平表现。为了评估非工作创造性活动的重要性，我们进行了两项研究，探讨非工作创造性活动，恢复经验和工作中的绩效相关行为之间的关系。研究1包括员工谁提供自我评价的绩效相关的结果，而研究2包括员工与其他额定（同事和下属）的绩效相关的结果。创造性活动与恢复经历呈正相关（即，掌握、控制和放松）和与表现相关的结果（即，工作创造力和角色外行为）。恢复经验的中介作用进行了检查，以更好地了解创造性活动和性能相关的结果之间的关系所涉及的基本过程。创造性活动被发现有间接影响和直接影响性能相关的结果，但效果不同的类型的性能相关的结果。结果表明，组织可能会受益于鼓励员工考虑创造性的活动，在他们的努力，以恢复工作。
Employees have limited personal time to engage in activities that enable them to recover from a demanding work environment and perform at a high level. To evaluate the importance of non-work creative activity, we conducted two studies that examine the relationships between non-work creative activity, recovery experiences, and performance-related behaviours at work. Study 1 included employees who provided self-rated performance-related outcomes, whereas Study 2 included employees with other-rated (co-workers and subordinates) performance-related outcomes. Creative activity was positively associated with recovery experiences (i.e., mastery, control, and relaxation) and performance-related outcomes (i.e., job creativity and extra-role behaviours). The mediating effects of recovery experiences were examined to better understand the underlying processes involved in the relationship between creative activity and performance-related outcomes. Creative activity was found to have both indirect effects and direct effects on performance-related outcomes, but the effects varied by the type of performance-related outcome. The results indicate that organizations may benefit from encouraging employees to consider creative activities in their efforts to recover from work.
