Introduction Although time pressure is known to undermine performance and work quality, its antecedents remain underexplored. We examine distal and proximal antecedents, along with contextual moderators, in supervisor-supervisee dyads. Methods Participants included 21 supervisors and 365 supervisees from the Chinese banking industry. Survey data were analyzed using polynomial regression and hierarchical linear modeling. Results Complementary temporal fit was associated with greater temporal self-efficacy. However, temporal self-efficacy did not directly reduce time pressure. Its negative effect on time pressure highly depends on the context, being attenuated when coordinative complexity was high and timelines were clear. Discussion Time pressure emerges from nuanced antecedents that depend on contextual moderators. These findings highlight the joint role of supervisor-supervisee dyadic temporal fit and work context in shaping time pressure.
