Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of time perspective on job satisfaction, career satisfaction, and life satisfaction. A sample comprising 321 participants from the teaching community of schools and colleges of Pakistan was included in the study. The Short Version of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (SZPTI-15) by Zhang and Bowerman (Zhang, Howell, & Bowerman, 2013) was used to measure the five-time perspectives: Past Negative TP, Past Positive TP, Present Hedonistic TP, Present Fatalistic TP, and the Future TP. Results of our study showed that job satisfaction, career satisfaction, and life satisfaction have a significant and positive relationship with past positive, present hedonistic, and future TPs, and a significant negative relationship with past negative and present fatalistic TPs. The results of our study add a unique and valuable contribution to understanding the impact of time perspectives on the life, emotions, and work-related attitudes of individuals. Further research with a larger sample and a more diversified population will be a valuable contribution for the understanding of individuals’ perspective about time and in the development of a balanced time perspective in Pakistan and other developing countries. Keywords: Time Perspective, Job Satisfaction, Career Satisfaction, Life Satisfaction, Pakistan
