Present and Future Time Perspective Effects on Job Satisfaction and Organizational Commitment: Evidence from MBA Mexican Students
Palabras clave:
Time Perspective, Job Satisfaction, Organizational CommitmentResumen
Academic literature and popular press suggest that individuals' time perspective influences a variety of important life situations. As such, this research posits that present and future time perspective could also affect job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Results obtained from the analysis of a sample of Mexican MBA students suggest that while a present time perspective has a negative but insignificant effect on job satisfaction and organizational commitment, a future time perspective has a positive and significant effect on both attitudes. Results of the investigation are discussed and conclusions are drawn regarding the importance of time perspective in job settings.
