“…Individuals with high levels of self-control can obtain favorable outcomes by putting forth more proactive scenario selection and modification effort (e.g. avoiding the desire to check emails while writing a paper or choosing to work on a paper in a library instead of at home, which results in less interruptions) (Moon et al, 2020). Moreover, this study found that self-control increased with the increase in age.…”

Social networking sites (SNSs) play a role in communication and connection among people. SNSs are currently the most popular online communication platforms for university students. However, many users experience difficulty managing the urge to use these sites continuously, resulting in excessive time spent on the platforms. Thus, they also display difficulty in overriding their thoughts, which might be related to self-control. The correlation between social networking time use and self-control of university students in Indonesia remains unknown. This study investigated the correlation between social networking time use and self-control among Indonesian university students. This research was conducted through an online survey with 973 university students as participants. The questionnaire collected data on demographics, self-control scale (SCS), and social networking time use scale (SONTUS) to measure time spent on SNSs. This study found that the higher levels of self-control were significantly correlated to spending less time on SNSs. It also found that the higher level of the factor of self-control, such as self-discipline, the ability to do non-impulsive action, health habits, work ethic, and reliability, the less the time spent on SNSs. A higher self-control also significantly correlates with less time on SNSs in relaxation, academic, public places, and stress-related use.

“…Specifically, we (a) examined the link between dispositional selfcontrol and interruptions in more detail to confirm and expand on recent work byMoon et al (2020), (b) investigated planning as a potential mechanism linking self-control and interruptions, and (c) explored the antecedents and consequences of both interruption frequency and severity.First, aligning with previous research(Moon et al, 2020), the current study supports the notion that intrusion frequency can be predicted by dispositional self-control. This consistent finding suggests that self-control might be incorporated into the set of antecedents within models of workplace interruptions.…”

“…Given the limited evidence for this linkage, we first attempted to replicate this finding. Based on the Moon et al (2020) results, we expected a negative relationship between dispositional self-control and intrusion frequency (Hypothesis 1). In addition, we sought to extend these prior findings by examining intrusion severity.…”

“…Given this, interruptions represent an increasingly prominent and problematic feature of work for many individuals, suggesting ongoing research examining the nature, antecedents, and consequences of workplace interruptions is important to further developing our understanding of how individuals experience work and what can be done to improve their work-related outcomes.The current research was designed to contribute to this effort in three ways. First, limited preliminary work is beginning to suggest that certain individuals may be more susceptible to workplace interruptions (e.g., Moon et al, 2020;Puranik et al, 2021). Moon et al (2020, for instance, recently demonstrated a link between dispositional self-control and interruptions.…”

Interruptions are a common and consequential issue for many individuals in organizational settings. Limited preliminary work suggests that certain individuals may be more susceptible to workplace interruptions but little is known about the nature and implications of these linkages with individual differences. This study examines dispositional self‐control as a predictor of workplace intrusions, focusing on (a) both intrusion frequency and severity, (b) planning as a potential mechanism, and (c) implications for task performance and work‐related stress. Participants (N = 164) first completed a measure of dispositional self‐control and then completed daily surveys for one workweek measuring planning, frequency and severity of intrusions, task performance, and work‐related stress. Results indicated that self‐control predicted both intrusion frequency and severity. In addition, both intrusion frequency and severity were found to be related to performance and stress. However, no indirect effects involving planning were found. These findings support the notion that individual differences in self‐control predict the experience of workplace intrusions; indicate that more‐conscious/effortful mechanisms (e.g., planning) may not play a prevalent role in this relationship, indirectly suggesting that less‐conscious/effortful mechanisms (e.g., habits) could be more relevant; and demonstrate that intrusion severity may be just as detrimental as intrusion frequency.

“…Self-control strategies are most likely to be associated with off-task thoughts or behaviors. For example, selecting and modifying appropriate learning situations can reduce distractions and barriers to learning (Moon et al, 2020). If you want to improve the learning process in depth, you need a comfortable place and have adequate facilities for developing student skills (Seel, 2006).…”

Self-control strategy is a way for a person to determine how to control himself. The purpose of this study was to examine how much influence online learning has on students' self-control in physical education subjects. Researchers used a Likert scale questionnaire as the medium to get data from respondents . The results showed that the self-mastery strategy for online learning resulted in students who tended to be passive but had good self-control. Then, we found that the self-control strategy needed by students is the enthusiasm and motivation of physical education teachers. So that students are not bored during the process of making assignments. Then the results of this study indicate that when online learning takes place, students tend to be passive and bored.However, we also found that students had good self-control even though the results of their assignments did not meet the learning modules, such as being respectful to the teacher and to their groupmates.
