An investigation of the dispositional nature of the time management construct

Time-Management Training: Effects on Time Behaviors, Attitudes, and Job Performance

“…Pretraining assessment of the randomly assigned respondents should be made in order to determine whether some individuals benefit from time-management training more than others. Shahani, Weiner, and Streit ( 1993) found some support for the dispositional nature of the time-management construct. Although additional research is clearly needed to better understand the effects of time-management training, the assertions made about time management, in general, were not supported in the present study.…”

On the relationship between time management and time estimation

“…Attempts to answer these sorts of questions have begun to be made recently by the development of time-management measures (e.g. Bond & Feather, 1988 ;Francis-Smythe & Robertson, 1998 ;Macan et al, 1990 ;Usunier & Valette-Florence, 1994) ; an investigation of the dispositional nature of time management (Shahani, Weiner & Streit, 1993) ; and the relationship between time management and time estimation (Burt & Kemp, 1994).…”

What Do We Know About Time Management? A Review of the Literature and a Psychometric Critique of Instruments Assessing Time Management

“…The TMB also appears to possess adequate construct validity evidence for academic time management with undergraduate students. Despite the low subscale reliability estimates calculated from the original sample, latter studies employing the TMB have consistently shown higher subscale reliability estimates ranging from 0.77 to 0.94 (e.g., Lahmers & Zulauf, 2000;Macan, 1994;Misra & McKean, 2000;Shahani et al, 1993).While the TMQ (Britton & Tesser, 1991) possesses content validity for time management, the construct validity of this scale is threatened by construct underrepresentation and a lack of reliability evidence. However, the TMQ does appear to demonstrate evidence of cross-cultural replicability.…”

“…There are also similarities among subscales of instruments developed to measure other aspects of time and instruments developed explicitly for time management. The TMB has been shown to have concurrent validity through significant correlations with the TSQ (r =.69, p < .001) and the TEQ (r = .54, p < .001) (Shahani et al, 1993). Furthermore, the Setting Goals and Priorities subscale of the TMB (Macan et al, 1990) is significantly related to the structured routine, effective organization, sense of purpose, and the persistence factors of the TSQ, the time utilization and long term personal direction factors of the TEQ, and the time submissiveness, time possessiveness, and time flexibility factors of the TAQ (Shahani et al, 1993).…”

“…Five studies examined the time management behaviors and practices of specific populations using qualitative methodologies including the use of time diaries (Hessing, 1994;Ho, 2003;Kotter, 1980;Winter et al, 1993;Yoels & Clair, 1994). Twenty-seven studies examined time management behaviors or practices in relation to other variables such as academic achievement, stress, or creativity (Adams & Jex, 1997Alay & Koçak, 2002;Anand, 2007;Britton & Tesser, 1991;Burt & Kemp, 1994;Cemaloglu & Filiz, 2010;Claessens et al, 2004;Francis-Smythe & Robertson, 1999;Garcia-Ros et al, 2004;Hellsten & Rogers, 2009;Jex & Elacqua, 1999;Lahmers & Zulauf, 2000;Lang et al, 1990;Lay & Schouwenburg, 1993;Macan et al, 1990;Misra & McKean, 2000;Mpofu et al, 1996;Mudrack, 1997;Shahani et al, 1993;Simons & Galotti, 1992;Swart et al, 2010;Trockel et al, 2000;van de Meer, et al, 2010;Williams et al, 1995;Zampetakis et al, 2010). One study (Trueman & Hartley, 1996) compared the effectiveness of time management skills between mature and traditional entry university students.…”
