  • 1.  Survey to measure attitude towards time

    Posted 12-27-2007 00:41
    Dear fellow colleagues,

    I’m trying to find a survey that measures attitude towards time.
    Preferably, the survey should contain two aspects of time: a)
    transcendental time b) empirical time or immediate time. Any help in
    pointing me in the right direction is greatly appreciated.



    Best,

    George

    George,

    You may want to take a look at the Zimbardo Time Perspective
    Questionnaire:

    Zimbardo, P. G., & Boyd, J. N. (1999). Putting time in perspective: A
    valid, reliable individual-difference metric. Journal of Personality and
    Social Psychology, 77, 1271-1288.

    Regards,

    Take a look at Elliott Jaques's, The Form of Time.

    Jaques is one of the outstanding theoreticians
    linking time and especially his coining of the
    time of intention, and the time-span of
    discretion as foundational in organization design.

    See the Global Organization Design Society's web site at
    http://www.globalro.org and read first the FAQ
    for a once over and then key word search Ken
    Craddock's 1000 page annotated bibliography that
    is a free download...and you'll find a lot about
    time as a central organizing concept in
    management.

    Goo luck,

    Ken

    Get in touch with Allen Bluedorn at the Univ of Missouri. He has done a good book on time
    and would probably know of some measures......

    The articles below all have measures in them.  The Palmer & Schoorman measure includes 3 measures.  The 1999 issue of Journal of Managerial Psychology was a special issue on time. You can also look to the cross-cultural literature.
    Would you share with me what you come up with?
    Thank you,
