“…These findings provide support for both hypotheses one and two. They also replicate and extend the findings of previous research in this area (Akhtar et al, 2015; Kelly & Johnson, 2005; Kim et al, 2009;Van Hoye & Lootens, 2013;Williams et al, 1995). Evidence from this study indicates that WE and TMB share a relationship through their shared personality antecedent of Industriousness.…”

“…Neither of these traits were significant in the regression analyses reported in Table 2. Previous research finding an association with Neuroticism or Extraversion was different to the current study, with some using a measure of perceived effective use of time (Bond & Feather, 1988;Van Hoye & Lootens, 2013). Another study only measured N and E (Langelaan et al, 2006), while yet another split N and E only into aspects (Woods & Sofat, 2013).…”

“…Conscientiousness has been positively associated with work engagement in adult workers from a range of industries (Akhtar et al, 2015;Kim, Shin, & Swanger, 2009), and even among unemployed adults (Van Hoye & Lootens, 2013). In a study of undergraduate students a positive relationship between time use efficiency and Conscientiousness was identified (Kelly & Johnson, 2005).…”

“…Studies on work engagement have hypothesised a positive relationship between the two traits, and there is some evidence for this found in a study of managerial-level employees (Langelaan et al, 2006) and a general working population sample (Akhtar et al, 2015). In contrast, Extraversion was not a significant predictor of maintaining a routine during unemployment (Van Hoye & Lootens, 2013), nor was it a significant predictor of time management behaviour in a group of community college students (MacCann et al, 2012), or a group of middle school students (Liu, Rijmen, MacCann, & Roberts, 2009). Woods and Sofat (2013) examined the aspects of Extraversion in their study and found that Assertiveness was significantly and positively associated with work engagement.…”

“…Work engagement has been negatively associated with Neuroticism in multiple studies (Kim et al, 2009; Langelaan, Bakker, van Doornen, & Schaufeli, 2006;Woods & Sofat, 2013). Individuals higher on Neuroticism appear less likely to use time management strategies (Bond & Feather, 1988;Van Hoye & Lootens, 2013). At the aspect level of Neuroticism, Volatility characterises an individual who has difficulty controlling their emotions and often loses their composure.…”

AbstractWe examined the construct validity of time management behaviour and work engagement, defined as a positive work-related state of mind. Two-hundred and eighty-one participants completed the Time Management Behaviour Scale, the Utrecht Work Engagement ScaleStudent Version, and the Big Five Aspect Scales. Linear regression analyses revealed that Time Management Behaviour was positively predicted by the Conscientiousness aspects, Industriousness and Orderliness. Work Engagement variables were also predicted by Industriousness, and both aspects of Openness/Intellect. Openness significantly predicted Vigor and Dedication, while Intellect predicted Absorption. These findings indicate that those higher in both time management behaviour and work engagement are more likely to use time effectively and minimise distractions. While individuals higher on time management behaviour are more likely to work in an orderly fashion, individuals higher in work engagement might be quicker to understand information. The implications for supporting students at university to learn more effectively are discussed in light of these findings.ABSTRACT WORD COUNT: 154 KEYWORDS: big five aspects; time management behaviour; work engagement; construct validity; self-regulated learning ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: The primary author was supported by an Australian Postgraduate Award (APA) to conduct this research Coping with University Education: The Relationships of Time Management Behaviour and Work Engagement with the Five Factor Model AspectsUsing time more efficiently is widely assumed to be a key skill for students (Claessens, van Eerde, Rutte, & Roe, 2007; Kelly & Johnson, 2005; MacCann, Fogarty, & Roberts, 2012). However, the evidence indicating that students who plan their time achieve better grades is mixed (Britton & Tesser, 1991; Burt & Kemp, 1994; Macan, Shahani, Dipboye, & Phillips, 1990;Trueman & Hartley, 1996). In contrast, university students who engage more with their studies might achieve higher grades (Salamonson et al., 2013). A number of interventions have been designed to improve university students' engagement with their studies (Wolters & Hoops, 2015). However, personality traits might confer a higher likelihood of using self-regulated learning strategies in the first place. The aim of this study was to examine the trait antecedents of Time Management Behaviour (Macan et al., 1990) and Work Engagement (Schaufeli, Salanova, Gonzalez-Roma, & Bakker, 2002b), in order to determine which students might benefit more from self-regulated learning interventions. A secondary aim of this study was to establish evidence for the discriminant validity of both constructs in a tertiary student sample. Work EngagementWork engagement is defined by Schaufeli et al. (2002b) as a "…positive, fulfilling, work-related state of mind" (p. 74). Work engagement consists of three affective-cognitive states. Vigor is characterised by high levels of mental resilience whil...

Symptoms of complicated grief and depression following job loss: Can engagement in non‐work activities bring relief?

The present study aimed to examine whether day‐level engagement in non‐work activities can mitigate the adverse outcomes of job loss. Based on Jahoda's latent deprivation model, we hypothesized that engaging in such activities (e.g., meeting others) can fulfil five basic needs (e.g., need for time structure) and that fulfilment of these needs mitigates the negative consequences of job loss. A diary study was conducted on five consecutive days among 236 participants who had involuntarily lost their job, yielding 1046 daily measures of the time spent on activities, the evaluation of these activities, and emotional distress. Multilevel regression analyses showed that time spent on daily activities was associated with the degree of fulfilment of the basic needs and emotional distress, yet the effect sizes were small. Perceived utility of these daily activities showed more solid effect sizes with the basic needs and emotional distress. However, the mediation effect of the basic needs regarding the association between activities and emotional distress could not be confirmed. The present results suggest that, in addition to stimulating individuals who experience job loss‐related emotional distress to undertake certain activities, the evaluation of these activities should also be taken into account in tailor‐made interventions and preventive measures.
