Planning behavior and perceived control of time at work

Abstract

SummaryThis study investigated two mediation models of time management. The first model consisted of parts of Macan's (1994) model. The second model combined this model with Karasek's (1998) Job Demand-Control model. Two sets of self-report questionnaires were collected and were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The first model, in which perceived control of time was hypothesized to fully mediate the relation between planning behavior and work strain, job satisfaction, and job performance, was found to be less adequate than the second model, which added workload and job autonomy as independent variables. Results also indicated that partial, rather than full, mediation of perceived control of time fitted the data best. The study demonstrated the importance of studying both planning behavior and job characteristics, which was not part of past research.

Effect of Management Control to Organizational Culture, Compensation, Work Behavior and Employees Performance. (Studies in the Village Unit Cooperatives (KUD) in Southeast Sulawesi)

“…The findings of this research in line with the stated Brigitte et al (2004) that the orientation behavior of management control is related to the design of management control systems to assist, control, motivate management to make decisions and monitor the activities of controlling behavior that occurs in an organization. In the implementation of workplace behavior often occurs a deviation or willful violation of the rules or outside management control procedures performed by the executor.…”

“…But the implementation is often the case of a deviation behavior or intentional breach outside of the rules and procedures of management control systems by controlling in this study is the controller, to direct, deviations or violations committed by employees that influence behavior. Brigitte et al (2004) that examined the effects of behavioral control mediate a significant influence on employee performance. Brigibe et al (2007) stated that the control of management is behavioral orientation related to the design of management control systems to assist, control, motivate management to make decisions and monitor the activities of controlling behavior that occurs in an organization.…”

Effect of Time Management on the Job Satisfaction and Motivation of Teacher Educators: A Narrative Analysis

“…Individuals who have greater control over their time experience less tension and exhibit fewer physical symptoms of stress (Macan, 1994). Since stress has been negatively correlated with self-assessed job performance, reducing stress through TM can minimise work strain and increase job performance (Claessens et al, 2004) in an effective organisation. A positive association has also been found between TM and employee health, mediated by perceived control and conflicts among the various demands of work and family support (Adams & Jex, 1999) and responsibilities.…”

L'impact des TIC mobiles sur les activités des professionnels en entreprise

“…Cette contribution se propose d'examiner théoriquement et empiriquement cette conséquence paradoxale de l'usage des technologies mobiles dans les situations de travail telles qu'elles sont perçues par les. Après avoir présenté les caractéristiques des technologies mobiles et leurs conséquences potentiellement paradoxales, la situation particulière des professionnels en entreprise sera examinée avant de décrire le modèle "exigence-contrôle" (demand-control model) (Claessens et al, 2004 ;Van Yperen & Hagedoorn, 2003 ;Karasek & Theroell, 1990 ;Johnson & Hall, 1988). Les résultats d'une recherche empirique auprès de dix entreprises françaises confirment l'existence de conséquences paradoxales, en termes d'exigence et de contrôle des technologies mobiles sur les situations de travail des professionnels en entreprise.…”
