“…This study suggests that the difference between the three studies that failed to support such a relation (Bacharach et al, 2002;Macdonald et al, 1999;Parker and Farmer, 1988) and the one study that did support the relation (Ames et al, 2000) was a joint function of the dimension of supervisor social control and the temporal context of alcohol use that was assessed. Regarding the importance of the temporal context of employee substance use, the present study extends past research showing that this dimension also is important to consider when exploring the relations of work stressors (Frone, 2008b) and workplace social norms (Frone and Brown, 2010) to employee alcohol and illicit drug use, and when exploring the productivity outcomes of employee alcohol use (Ames et al, 1997;Frone, 2004).…”

“…Thus, off-the-job alcohol use is not likely to be a major direct concern for supervisors. Second, on-the-job alcohol use is more likely to be related to job performance and job injuries (Ames et al, 1997;Frone, 2004). Third, workplace substance use policies typically prohibit on-the-job alcohol use and impairment, making it subject to disciplinary action, whereas off-the-job alcohol use is not subject to workplace policy for most workers.…”

“…However, in contrast to off-the-job alcohol use, supervisor enforcement is expected to be negatively related to off-thejob illicit drug use even though it is just as unlikely as offthe-job alcohol use to have a major impact on absenteeism, job performance, and work injuries (Frone, 2004(Frone, , 2006b(Frone, , 2011Normand et al, 1994). Off-the-job illicit drug use may be more responsive to supervisor enforcement because it is a greater direct concern to many employers than is offthe-job alcohol use for a variety of reasons.…”

“…There are several reasons why supervisor social control may have a negative relation to on-the-job alcohol use and no relation to offthe-job alcohol use. First, off-the-job alcohol use is legal and has few implications for workplace performance and workplace safety (Ames et al, 1997;Frone 2004Frone , 2011. Even bouts of heavy drinking away from work by employees occur infrequently and are not likely to have a consistent and substantial relation to absenteeism (Foster and Vaughan, 2005;Frone, 2011).…”

“…Third, and related to President Reagan's executive order, many companies test employees for illicit drugs but not for alcohol use. Because such drug tests cannot determine the time of use, they primarily detect use that has occurred off the job (Frone, 2004;Macdonald et al, 1997;Normand et al, 1994). This means that off-the-job use of illicit drugs identifi ed in pre-employment drug testing programs is used to deny employment to job applicants, and off-the-job use identifi ed in random drug testing programs might lead to sanctions or termination of employment among current employees.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Research on supervisor social control provided little evidence for a relation to employee alcohol use, and only one study explored illicit drug use. Based on past research, several hypotheses were developed that the relation between supervisor social control and substance use depends on (a) the dimension social control (contact vs. enforcement), (b) the temporal context of substance use (on the job vs. off the job), and (c) substance legality (alcohol vs. illicit drugs). Method: Data came from a national probability sample of U.S. workers. Supervisor social control represented both supervisor contact and supervisor enforcement. Measures of alcohol and illicit drug use each assessed several dimensions of off-the-job use (overall use, overall impairment, and use after work) and on-the-job use (use before work, use during the workday, and impairment during the workday). Results: As hypothesized, the results did not support a relation of supervisor contact to off-the-job or on-the-job alcohol use and illicit drug use. Supervisor enforcement was unrelated to off-the-job alcohol use but was negatively related to on-the-job alcohol use. Supervisor enforcement was negatively related to both off-the-job and on-the-job illicit drug use. Conclusions: These fi ndings help clarify the generally unsupportive fi ndings from past research for a relation between supervisor social control and employee alcohol use, as well as extend this line of research to include illicit drug use. The results suggest that to fully understand the relation of supervisor social control to employee substance use, one must consider the dimension of supervisor social control, temporal context of substance use, and substance legality.

The Existential Structure of Substance Misuse

Temporality is fundamental for understanding all experiences related to substance use, and, a fortiori, misuse (Messas et al. 2019b). From a temporal perspective, the main purpose of a voluntary act of substance use is to remove oneself from the habitual conditions of biographical temporality. Consciousness modification therefore reflects a search for new proportions of anthropological proportions, a new expression of existence (Messas 2014b) in which the dialectics between present, retention and protention might be modified by the historical self. For example, say somebody has a few drinks with friends after a demanding day's work. Their purpose in doing this is to temporarily release themselves from the worries of their job. By engaging in an experience that is intense and isolated in the present, they temporarily cut off any connection with the recent past, which, from an existential perspective, may be salutary. However, if retention is reduced to such an extent that all sense of social protocol is lost (e.g. a person who drives under the influence and thereby breaks the law and puts third parties at risk), this self-management can be defined as harmful.The possibility of instantly managing the dimensions of temporality interacts ambiguously with existence itself, sometimes enabling its expansion, sometimes its deconstruction. The capacity to move one's own temporal foundation grants the historical self unusual Dionysian powers over the plasticity of temporality -the ways the dimensions of retention, present and protention are articulated. And, as we will see below, this power extends through temporality to affect the other conditions of possibility of existence. It is the existential meaning of this self-mastery of the proportions of temporality that makes it harmful, productive or ambiguous.
