This study examines the relationship between proactive coping, future time orientation, and perceived work productivity during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, based on the work-from-home experience of employees in Taiwan and the United States (U.S.). It draws on the conservation of resources (COR) theory, which posits that proactive coping and future time orientation are crucial personal resources that affect the capacity of an individual to adapt to stressful situations. The results show that in the relationship between proactive coping and perceived work productivity, future time orientation acts as a full mediator in Taiwan and a partial mediator in the U.S. The study extends the application of the COR theory to the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and offers important insights that will enable professionals to assess the role of proactive coping and future time orientation in their productivity evaluations of working tasks and to design appropriate training sessions.
本研究基于台湾和美国员工的居家工作经历，考察了在冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间积极应对、未来时间取向与感知工作效率之间的关系。它借鉴了资源守恒（COR）理论，该理论认为积极应对和未来时间取向是影响个体适应压力情境能力的关键个人资源。结果表明，在积极应对与感知工作效率的关系中，未来时间取向在台湾起到完全中介作用，在美国起到部分中介作用。该研究将COR理论的应用扩展到COVID-19大流行的背景下，并提供了重要的见解，使专业人员能够在其对工作任务的效率评估中评估积极应对和未来时间取向的作用，并设计适当的培训课程。
