“…Based on theoretical postulates (Carelli et al, 2011;Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999) and empirical evidence, we assumed that: a) Future Positive time perspective, which is linked with planning, forecasting, and better career development indicators (Ferrari et al, 2010;Kairys et al, 2013;Taber, 2013), should have negative links with career barriers; b) "negative" time perspectives (Past Negative, Present Fatalistic, Future Negative), that are related to negative career development indicators (Kairys et al, 2013;Taber, 2013), should have positive links with career barriers. Since the results of previous research (Kairys et al, 2013;Taber, 2013) are inconsistent regarding the Past Positive and Present Hedonistic time perspectives, their links to career barriers was not considered as evidence of construct validity.…”
