| Sumario: | In this study, we have examined the effect of the daily work environment in terms of daily hassles and daily uplifts on the pharmaceutical industry's innovativeness in Pakistan using a two-wave field survey. We also examined daily uplifts as the boundary condition that buffers the negative effects of daily hassles on organizational innovativeness. We adopted reliable measures from prior research to collect employee-reported data. The sample consisted of 112 employees of the pharmaceutical industry from across Pakistan. Hypotheses were tested using correlational and regression approaches of statistical analysis. The daily hassles revealed an insignificant effect on organizational innovativeness. The daily uplifts showed a significant positive contribution towards enhancing organizational innovativeness. The interaction effect of daily uplifts and daily hassles on organizational innovativeness was also insignificant. It points to the need for managerial practices that enhance daily uplifts and reduce daily hassles to achieve greater organizational good in enhancing innovativeness. |
