  text: <jats:sec><jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Purpose</jats:title><jats:p>The
    relationship between variation in time perspectives and collaborative performance
    is scarcely explored, and even less is known about the respective mechanisms that
    lead to varying task performance. Thus, we aim to further the literature on time
    perspectives and collaborative performance, shedding light on the underlying behavioral
    patterns.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Design/methodology/approach</jats:title><jats:p>We
    report a quasi-experiment analyzing the impact of past, present and future orientation
    variation in dyads (<jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 76) on their quantitative and
    qualitative performance when confronted with a simple incentivized creative task
    with constraints. Subsequently, we offer a qualitative analysis of comments given
    by the participants after the task on the collaboration.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title
    content-type="abstract-subheading">Findings</jats:title><jats:p>Results indicate
    that a dyad's elevation of past orientation and diversity in future orientation
    negatively affect collaborative performance. At the same time, there is a positive
    effect of elevation of future orientation. The positive effect is driven by clear
    communication and agreement during the task, while the negative effect arises
    from work sharing and complementation.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title
    content-type="abstract-subheading">Practical implications</jats:title><jats:p>This
    study provides insights for organizations on composing individuals regarding their
    temporal focus for collaborative tasks that should be executed rapidly and require
    creative solutions.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Originality/value</jats:title><jats:p>Our
    study distinguishes by considering the composition of past, present and future
    time perspectives in dyads and focuses on a creative task setting. Moreover, we
    explore the mechanisms in the dyads with a substantial elevation of/diversity
    in future orientation, leading to their stronger/weaker performance.</jats:p></jats:sec>
