“…In other words, workers with an open-ended FTP reacted more strongly to psychological contract fulfillment in relation to employee obligations, which suggest that the level of felt obligations among low FTP workers is less dependent on how they perceive employer obligations to be fulfilled (Bal et al, 2010). Similarly, De Lange et al (2011) showed that the negative relationship between relational contract breach and work motivation was stronger among workers with a high FTP, suggesting that workers with a high FTP are more strongly affected by the way that employers behave toward them. However, a high FTP may also be a buffering resource that prevents high FTP workers against the negative impact of job stressors, such as perceived gender discrimination.…”

“…For instance, Bal et al (2010) and De Lange et al (2011) found that FTP moderated the relations between psychological contract fulfillment and employee obligations. In particular, Bal et al (2010) found that the relations of economic and socio-emotional fulfillment (i.e., when employees believed that their employers has fulfilled their obligations regarding economic and socioemotional needs) with employee obligations (i.e., in-role obligations, citizenship obligations, and high performance obligations) were stronger among post-retired workers with high FTP than among post-retired workers with low FTP (Bal et al, 2010).…”

Future Time Perspective in the Work Context: A Systematic Review of Quantitative Studies

A core construct in the lifespan theory of socioemotional selectivity, future time perspective (FTP) refers to individuals’ perceptions of their remaining time in life. Its adaptation to the work context, occupational future time perspective (OFTP), entails workers’ perceptions of remaining time and opportunities in their careers. Over the past decade, several quantitative studies have investigated antecedents and consequences of general FTP and OFTP in the work context (i.e., FTP at work). We systematically review and critically discuss this literature on general FTP (k = 17 studies) and OFTP (k = 16 studies) and highlight implications for future research and practice. Results of our systematic review show that, in addition to its strong negative relationship with age, FTP at work is also associated with other individual (e.g., personality traits) and contextual variables (e.g., job characteristics). Moreover, FTP at work has been shown to mediate and moderate relationships of individual and contextual antecedents with occupational well-being, as well as motivational and behavioral outcomes. As a whole, findings suggest that FTP at work is an important variable in the field of work and aging, and that future research should improve the ways in which FTP at work is measured and results on FTP at work are reported.

“…Future time perspective refers to people's perceptions of how many opportunities (i.e., opportunity focus) and limitations (i.e., limitation focus) are ahead of them in their (working) life (Cate and John 2007). This perspective has been linked to, for instance, a focus on promotions (Kooij et al 2014), work motivation (De Lange et al 2011), or work performance (Zacher et al 2010). The relationship between individuals' future time perspective and their employability, however, has not yet been empirically researched (Raemdonck et al 2015).…”

Great Expectations: The Relationship Between Future Time Perspective, Learning from Others, and Employability

Vocations and Learning

Employees in countries with advanced industrial economies need to continuously develop their competences to sustain their employability -that is, to have a set of competences that enables them to maintain or find an adequate job. But how should efforts to enhance employability progress in the context of the demographic shift? Previous research suggests that employees' perspective about their future working life may influence their motivation to engage in learning activities. The study reported and discussed here investigates how employees' perceptions of the future as a time of opportunities and limitations affects their engagement in learning from others and, in turn, their employability. We tested our model empirically in two Austrian consultancies (n=167). We find that focus on opportunities in the future explains engagement in learning from others and, subsequently, differences in employability. The informants' perspectives about the future may be a helpful alternative to the measurement of chronological age, which is problematic from a conceptual point of view.
