In Study 2, we aimed to replicate these findings in a daily diary study among working people in the creative industry, who are evaluated on their daily creative output by their supervisors. In order to achieve a constructive replication study (Köhler & Cortina, 2021), Study 2 thus involves a sample highly relevant for an examination of creative performance, along with the use of a more ‘context-specific’ measure of creative work performance. In addition, we take a critical look by taking into account the potential influence of the work environment on creative performance by controlling for job characteristics that may be of influence in the proactive vitality management – creativity process (Köhler & Cortina, 2021). 5
