Abstract
Objectives: Recent studies on flow experi-ence have supported that flow state providesan enhancement on performance. Intrin-sic motivation is one significant determi-nant of this relationship, is in relation withself-compassion. The type of activity (e.g.,work-related and leisure) is also found to beimportant to differentiate the level of perfor-mance as well as the quality of activity. Thisstudy aims to determine the positive influencesof self-compassion, free time managementand flow states on explaining higher perfor-mance. Method: The sample consisted of 150participants: 92 female (61.3%) and male 58(38.7%). The mean age was 32.11 (?=6.05).They conducted Demographic InformationForm, Self-Compassion Scale Short Version,Free Time Management Scale, Swedish FlowPropensity Scale and Work Performance Scale.Results: A three-step hierarchical regres-sion model was conducted to measure theamount of variance in performance. In thefirst step, self-compassion explained 6% vari-ability in performance (F(1, 148)=8.56,p<.01). The second step, free time manage-ment explained 19% of additional variability (F(4, 145)=12.06,p<.01). In the last step, workflow significantly contributed 4% to the modeland was related to increased performance (F(8, 141)=7.08,p<.01). Consequently, thefinal model was explaining 29 % of the vari-ance. Conclusion: The findings of this studysuggest that higher self-compassion, betterfree time management skills, and frequent flowexperiences increase performance.
