Although prior research has examined flow in contexts such as sports, education, and workplace performance, limited attention has been paid to how social, cognitive, and motivational factors are associated with flow experiences among practicing artists. This study examined the relationships among perceived social support, the positive mindset dimension, creative process, expected self/life, and flow among practicing artists in China. Drawing on a sample of 962 artists, the study employed Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to assess theoretically informed associations among social support from friends, family, and significant others, internal psychological factors, and flow experiences. The findings showed that creative process and expected self/life were positively associated with flow-related experiences, whereas the positive mindset dimension was not directly associated with flow. Social support was also associated with internal psychological factors relevant to creative engagement. Mediation analyses indicated that creative process and expected self/life were significant indirect pathways linking the positive mindset dimension and flow. The model demonstrated satisfactory explanatory and predictive relevance, supporting the integration of social and psychological correlates in understanding flow among artistic populations. These findings highlight the relevance of supportive social environments and internal psychological resources in relation to creative engagement and flow, while acknowledging that the cross-sectional and self-report design does not permit causal or temporal conclusions.</p>","PeriodicalId":7141,"journal":{"name":"Acta Psychologica","volume":"270 ","pages":"107996"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149214825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the cost-value model of feedback-seeking recognizes both informational and image-related motives, little theory explains when, and for whom, each motive dominates leader feedback-seeking behavior (FSB). This conceptual paper addresses that gap by integrating workplace coaching, psychological safety, and the personality trait of Honesty-Humility (HH) within the cost-value model. Workplace coaching is theorized to raise the perceived value of leader FSB through two pathways: (1) building the interpersonal competencies that feedback conversations require, and (2) strengthening self-efficacy through guided practice and reflection. Psychological safety perceived in the broader work environment is proposed to amplify this effect by reducing the ego and self-presentation costs of seeking feedback, enabling leaders to act on coaching-derived readiness. HH is then introduced as a moderator shaping not merely whether leaders seek feedback, but why. Although coaching and psychological safety may raise FSB frequency across leaders, those lower in HH are theorized to use these conditions primarily for strategic impression management, whereas those higher in HH are theorized to seek feedback with developmental intent less contingent on context. The framework thus extends the cost-value model, identifies psychological safety as a contextual amplifier, and positions HH as a boundary condition determining whether supportive developmental contexts foster genuine growth or strategic self-presentation.</p>","PeriodicalId":7141,"journal":{"name":"Acta Psychologica","volume":"270 ","pages":"108005"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149214925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it is thought that the organizational support that coaches, who work under intense performance pressure, perceive from their clubs can have a significant impact on their passion for their work. However, it is anticipated that psychological and motivational factors may also play a significant role in explaining this relationship. The aim of this research is to examine the relationships between perceived organizational support, psychological resilience, job motivation, and job passion among coaches working in the academies of clubs in the Turkish professional football leagues, within the framework of a structural model. The study included 259 volunteer coaches (n = 259; X<sub>age</sub> = 41.27; SD<sub>age</sub> = 11.91).

However, after psychological resilience and job motivation were included as mediators, the direct relationship between perceived organizational support and job passion became non-significant (β = -0.069, 95% CI [-0.132, 0.031]). Furthermore, psychological resilience and job motivation jointly showed a significant sequential mediating role in the relationship between perceived organizational support and job passion (B = 0.016, 95% bootstrap CI [0.005, 0.032]).
