This study extended pioneering research of M. J. Bond and N. T. Feather (1988) into time structure and purpose. These investigators reported generally positive relationships between ยฎve time structure components and Type A behavior and orthogonal relationships with the Protestant work ethic (PWE). Such ยฎndings seemed inconsistent with theoretical expectations, and therefore potentially threatened the nomological validity of Bond and Feather's Time Structure Questionnaire (TSQ). In this study, two samples of employed persons (total N 407) completed self-report surveys. No time structure component was associated with global Type A or PWE measures. Orthogonal relationships also appeared with impatient, irritable, and time-pressured aspects of Type A behavior, and with three PWE beliefs concerned with asceticism, leisure, and perceived superiority to others. On the other hand, some TSQ dimensions, particularly Persistence, related positively to PWE beliefs that hard work is essential to produce valued outcomes. Moreover, ยฎve of six TSQ components tended to be strongly and positively linked with the hard-driving, competitive, and achievement-oriented side of Type A behavior. This study reconciled past and current research ยฎndings, and armed the potential importance of time structure and purpose in the study of organizational behavior.
