What is Organizational Behavior Implications of the Congruence Between Preferred Polychronicity and Experienced Work-unit Polychronicity about?

This research hypothesizes that greater congruence between preferred polychronicity (the extent to which an individual prefers to be involved with several tasks simultaneously) and experienced work-unit polychronicity (the polychronic behaviors and preferences of the supervisor and co-workers) will be associated with higher levels of (1) three components of organizational commitment (willingness to exert eort, desire to remain a member of the organization, and belief in and acceptance of organizational goals), (2) the individual's perceived performance evaluation by the supervisor and co-workers, and (3) the individual's perceived fairness of the performance evaluation. Based on a sample of employed business school graduates, the results indicate that polychronic congruence is signi®cantly related to these variables in the predicted direction. The use of polynomial regression analysis reveals additional characteristics of the relationships that would not have been available from the analysis of squareddierence scores. The ®ndings support the position that polychronicity and other temporal variables are important factors in organizational research.
