Abstract
The study compared separate monochronic and polychronic time cultures with regard to time management and its influence on key job outcomes. Results support the notion that positive effects of time management practices may not be limited only to Western cultures, and that selected time management dimensions may be more effective in improving job performance perceptions and job satisfaction in certain cultures than in others. Furthermore, the impact that time management practices have on job performance was more evident for individuals who were polychronics as compared to monochronics, regardless of cultural differences. Discussion includes implication for management.
