“…In addition, Watson and Milfont (2017) found that self‐control predicted temporal considerations, which can be described as dispositional attitudes toward immediate and future consequences. Similarly, Vaghef et al (2021) found a positive relationship between delay of gratification and future time perspective. Given these connections with approach/avoidance of situations, temporal considerations, and future time perspective, it appears plausible that those higher in self‐control may tend to engage in more planning.…”

“…For self‐control‐to‐planning, previous research suggesting this relationship has focused on other aspects of the planning construct. For instance, Smit and Barber (2016) examined planning by using a problem‐solving rumination scale and Vaghef et al (2021) examined planning indirectly by investigating an individual's future time perspective. Thus, it may be that time management planning specifically (the focus of the current research) does not have the same connection with self‐control.…”

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.
