Relationship between time perspective and job satisfaction

Abstract

ContentsIJHRDM will publish original work advancing theoretical constructs (including concepts, models, algorithms, methods, etc.), field and laboratory based experimental evaluations of such theoretical constructs and policy initiatives, case studies, state-of-the-art reviews, commentaries on policies, meeting and conference reports, book reviews and notes, and other significant news relevant to the discipline. From time-to-time, IJHRDM will devote special issues to pressing roblems in human resources development and management.

Relationship between time perspective and time management behaviours

“…As personality factors -especially Conscientiousness, which is highly correlated with time management behaviours, are correlated with time perspective (Podlogar & Bajec, 2011;Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999), we wanted to confirm that any associations between time management behaviours and time perspective are not just due to variance in personality factors. Time perspectives can be viewed as frames of reference that influence individuals' attitudes and behaviours and they have been shown to predict mood states (Stolarski & Matthews, 2016), satisfaction with life (Stolarski & Matthews, 2016;Zhang & Howell, 2011) and job satisfaction (Bajec, 2018) independently of personality. As time perspective drives the construction of psychological time and shapes our non-conscious cognitive processes, one would expect time perspectives to be strong predictors of time management behaviour once variance due to variability in personality traits is taken into account.…”
