Effectiveness or efficiency: the impact of performance pressure and time pressure on employee feedback-seeking behavior.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIn today's volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) environment, organizations expect employees to change from passively accepting task requests to actively pursuing improvement. Feedback-seeking behavior has gained widespread attention. The study aims to adopt Conservation of Resources Theory to examine the influence mechanism and boundary condition of performance pressure and time pressure on employee feedback-seeking behavior.
methodsTo investigate the mediating role of work rumination and the moderating role of competitive climate on the relationship between performance pressure, time pressure and employee feedback-seeking behavior, data were collected from 410 Chinese employees through a two-wave survey distributed via WJX.cn. Statistical analyses were performed with Spss 26, Amos 26 and Process 4.0.
resultsThe findings indicate that work rumination mediates the relationship between performance pressure, time pressure and employee feedback-seeking behavior. The impact of performance pressure is stronger than that of time pressure. Competitive climate positively moderates the indirect influence of performance pressure and time pressure on employee feedback-seeking behavior through work rumination.
conclusionThe study deepens the understanding of how diverse workplace stressors shape employees' feedback-seeking behavior. Particularly in competitive work environments, organizations can foster a culture of healthy competition by implementing well-designed performance requirements and reasonable time expectations, thereby motivating employees to transform work pressures into proactive feedback-seeking for professional growth.
