Abstract
Workplace telepressure is a psychological experience related to work-related messages. Research on measurement invariance for telepressure is scarce, especially with respect to occupations. This paper used a moderated nonlinear factor analysis technique to examine how occupational characteristics predict telepressure experiences and differential ratings across two studies with full-time workers. Email-related behaviors and demands predicted factor means and variances of telepressure, but there were no consistent results for job control and time pressure. Invariance testing at the item-level showed that occupational characteristics did not moderate most item parameter estimates; that is, employees interpreted workplace telepressure items equivalently regardless of occupational context.
