“…Conversely, individuals who focus on the future (i.e., future temporal focus) will take future consequences into account (e.g., Levasseur et al, 2020;Shipp et al, 2009). Prior research found that individuals who anticipate future consequences refrain from negative behavior in favor of positive work-related behaviors and attitudes (e.g., altruism, conscientiousness, courtesy, long-term planning, and OCB; Foo, Uy & Baron, 2009;Levasseur et al, 2020;Shipp et al, 2009;Strobel, Tumasjan, Spörrle & Welpe, 2013) as well as positive nonwork-related behaviors and attitudes (e.g., increased safety skills and fewer traffic violations; increased sustainable behavior; ; Eastman, Modi & Gordon-Wilson, 2019;Tekeş,Özdemir &Özkanc, 2020). Furthermore, Baltes, Wynne, Sirabian, Krenn, and De Lange (2014) proposed that future time perspective triggers a goal orientation with promotion focus.…”

“…In contrast, individuals characterized by a future temporal focus are more likely to focus on future consequences of their actions. As a consequence, they might anticipate if, and how, using their moral credits and/or credentials might result in potential negative consequences associated with the enactment of CWB-O (Levasseur, Shipp, Fried, Rousseau & Zimbardo, 2020;Miller & Effron, 2010;Monin & Jordan, 2009;Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999), ultimately leading them to refrain from future CWB-O. Finally, individuals with a present temporal focus concentrate on relevant information in the here and now.…”

Traditionally, scientific- and practitioner-oriented publications tend to categorize employees in groups of either “good” or “bad” employees, thereby omitting that one category of employees might engage in organizational citizenship behavior (OCB-O) and counterproductive work behavior (CWB-O). In this study, we concurrently examine the mediating role of moral credits and credentials, as well as the moderating role of subjective temporal focus. Specifically, we argue that when employees enact OCB-O, they obtain moral credits and credentials, which in turn might make employees more likely to enact CWB-O. Moreover, we argue that the latter relationships depend on an employee’s subjective temporal focus, resulting in an OCB-O—CWB-O relationship that is (1) positive for a past temporal focus, (2) negative for a future temporal focus, and (3) non-significant for a present temporal focus. We examined these hypotheses by means of a multilevel weekly survey study and largely found support for our hypotheses, especially with regard to the role of moral credentials as the mediating mechanism and the aggravating versus attenuating effect of past versus future temporal focus, respectively. We end with a discussion on implications, suggestions for future research, and recommendations for practice.

“…Future studies could also try to understand if and how students' temporal perspectives or temporal foci may also play a role among the predictors of university procrastination (Baguri et al, 2020;Levasseur et al, 2020;Diotaiuti et al, 2021c). In this case, a university couselling programme should also include an in-depth examination of the value of the person's temporal perspective and the importance of the focus of attention that the student mainly devotes to the declinations of his/her own time (past, present and future).…”

A Mediating Model of Emotional Balance and Procrastination on Academic Performance

et al. 2021

Deficit in the management of time continues to be an important difficulty students are faced with. The present work aimed to test the hypothesis that self-regulation is the major predictor of academic performance and that this effect can be mediated both by the student’s emotional regulation and his propensity for procrastination. Participants were 450 university students who were administered MPP and AIP. The procedures involved the administration of instruments and the collection of average exam grades as a measure of academic performance. The effect of a specific component of self-regulation on academic performance, namely action orientation, was significant, while procrastination showed a limiting effect on the performative quality of the student. The model confirmed the mediation role of emotional balance on the effect that action orientation exerts on procrastination, and the mediation of procrastination in the relationship between action orientation and Academic Performance. Results of the study suggest focusing on student support and on prevention of procrastinating behavior through programs that enhance first of all student’s proactive attitude, planning skills, self-monitoring and effective/efficient time management, and secondly, emotional awareness and regulation of emotional response in situations of stress and performance anxiety.

Validation study of the Italian version of Temporal Focus Scale: psychometric properties and convergent validity

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Over the last decade, international research has produced a large number of studies that have stressed the importance of temporal focus in various aspects of the lives of individuals, groups and organizations. This first Italian validation study of the Temporal Focus Scale (TFS) has shown a reliable measurement to assess the tendency of individuals to characteristically think about different periods of their lives. Methods TFS/I was administered to a sample of 1458 participants, while three other convenience samples (N1 = 453; N2 = 544; N3 = 168) were used for convergent validity testing. Results Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed a three-factor solution (including 10 items) with good indices of fit to data, e.g., χ2 = 49.533, CFI = 0.992, TLI = 0.986, RMSEA = 0.034, RMSEA 90% CI .018–.048. Convergent validity assessment confirmed predictive indications with variables such as life satisfaction, optimistic/pessimistic orientation, perceived general self-efficacy, self-regulatory modes, anxiety, depression. Conclusion The temporal focus has proven to be a significant feature associated with various aspects of both well-being and personal discomfort. By virtue of its good psychometric properties, the TFS can be an integrative tool along with others for a better evaluation of the person’s profile in different contexts such as education, coaching, psychotherapy, counseling and career guidance.
