Conceptualization of Stress
Stress
“General area of study that includes the examination of stressors and strain”
(Glazer & Palekar, 2013)
“An appropriate definition of stress should reflect to a large extent
the social and philosophical preconcerns of a given culture.”
(Laungani, 1996)
![Page 6: Temporal Orientation and Stress Training](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65958d7f8b9aa4758b4843/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Stressor
“Events or conditions within the environment that create a
motivation to react”
Strain
“Negative, psychological, physiological,
or behavioral responses to stressors”
(Glazer & Palekar, 2013)
![Page 7: Temporal Orientation and Stress Training](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65958d7f8b9aa4758b4843/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
(Glazer, 2008; Glazer et al.,2012)
Examples of Stressors Examples of Strain
Psychosocial
(e.g., role overload, role ambiguity)
Physical
(e.g., situational constraints,
lighting)
Temporal Stressors
(e.g., perceptions of deadlines)
Physiological
(e.g., headaches, sleeplessness)
Psychological
(e.g., turnover cognition, anxiety)
Behavioral
(e.g., turnover, smoking, overeating)

Stress Across Cultures
The Stress Process
(Glazer & Beehr, 2005)
![Page 10: Temporal Orientation and Stress Training](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65958d7f8b9aa4758b4843/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

!Learning Check!
![Page 12: Temporal Orientation and Stress Training](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65958d7f8b9aa4758b4843/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
This is what we have learned so far!
The term “stress” is not exactly universal in meaning
Stress: stressor-strain relationship
Examples of stressors and strains
How stress differs across cultures
The stress process may be universal
![Page 13: Temporal Orientation and Stress Training](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65958d7f8b9aa4758b4843/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Temporal Orientation
![Page 14: Temporal Orientation and Stress Training](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65958d7f8b9aa4758b4843/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What is Temporal Orientation?
“A stable individual difference variable, influenced by cultural practices, and
serves as an internal representation of a culture’s normative approach to time”
“Preference to manage time across various domains, work and leisure”
(Glazer & Palekar, 2013)
“The way time is viewed by an individual…
influenced by socialization, values, and other cultural elements”
(Leonard, 2008)
![Page 15: Temporal Orientation and Stress Training](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65958d7f8b9aa4758b4843/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Monochronicity & Polychronicity
• First noted by anthropologist Edward T. Hall (1959)
Monochronicity:
“Clock Time” or “M-Time”
“preference to complete one event
before moving to another”
• Time is tangible
• Time can be…
“spent”, “wasted”, “saved”, or “lost”
Polychronicity:
“Event Time” or “P-Time”
“preference to juggle between life
events”
• Present oriented—living in the now
(Glazer & Palekar, 2013)
![Page 16: Temporal Orientation and Stress Training](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65958d7f8b9aa4758b4843/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Monochronic People Polychronic People
• Concentrate on one task at a time
• Take time commitments
• Finish tasks from beginning to end
• Adhere to plans, deadlines, & schedules
• Emphasize promptness
• Have short-term relationships
• Do many things at once
• Time is a guideline
• Tasks will get done eventually
• Plans change often and easily
• Base promptness on relationships
• Build long-term relationships
(Kaufman-Scarborough, 2003)
![Page 17: Temporal Orientation and Stress Training](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65958d7f8b9aa4758b4843/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Temporal Orientation as a Cultural Concept
Culture
“…values, attitudes, meanings (attributed to language), beliefs, and ways of acting and interacting that are learned and shared by a group of people over a period of history and are often taken for granted as reality by those within the ‘said’ culture.”
(Glazer, 2002, p. 146)
Let’s break it down…
![Page 18: Temporal Orientation and Stress Training](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65958d7f8b9aa4758b4843/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
How is Time Orientation learned?
• From our parents, grandparents, and friends
(e.g., bedtime or family gathering time)
• Our culture, values, view of self, and attitudes
(e.g., IND-COL and Independent-Interdependent self)
Why does time become shared?
How is time taken for granted?
• Experiencing time from another perspective
(e.g., expatriates, cross-cultural business, strain)

Cultural Variation on Temporal Orientation
(Leonard, 2008)
Individualism Collectivism
![Page 21: Temporal Orientation and Stress Training](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65958d7f8b9aa4758b4843/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Allocentism Interdependent self
Idiocentrism Independent self
*Allocentrism better indicated…
-Preference for polychronicity
• As level of polychronicity increased…
- Job satisfaction increased (and)
- Psychological strain decreased
Self Construal:
(Leonard, 2008)
![Page 22: Temporal Orientation and Stress Training](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65958d7f8b9aa4758b4843/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
(Leonard, 2008)
Differentiation Matching
“ If the cognitive orientation of individuals matches the structure of features of their society… individuals are more likely to be more positive in affect and behavioral terms”
![Page 23: Temporal Orientation and Stress Training](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65958d7f8b9aa4758b4843/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Exploring the impact of Polychronic Behavior
Individual Level of Polychronicity and Monochronicity:
• Polytasking – working on multiple projects at a time
• Monotasking- working on one project at a time, start to finish
![Page 25: Temporal Orientation and Stress Training](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65958d7f8b9aa4758b4843/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

(Cotte & Ratneshwar, 1999)
Positive Meanings
• Time flies
• Sense of urgency
• Efficiency
• Realistic
• Motivating

![Page 26: Temporal Orientation and Stress Training](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65958d7f8b9aa4758b4843/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
“…when I was getting my Master's. I was getting my Master's, working part time, looking for a house, and planning a wedding. So I felt really split sort of four ways and I remember thinking I can't wait to have all this over with and just have one job…”
“I would rather have one big job to focus my energy on and I guess that's the way I work best. I don't like to be fragmented."
Participant Testimonials: 1
(Cotte & Ratneshwar, 1999)

“[For one Anglo woman] even deviating slightly from a "to-do list" is a negatively charged emotional experience”
“That’s my favorite thing to do is cross things off my list”

Latina Women and Polytasking
• Polychronic when it comes to leisure
• Some were monochronic at work
(Cotte & Ratneshwar, 1999)
![Page 29: Temporal Orientation and Stress Training](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65958d7f8b9aa4758b4843/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
“…she will often combine attendance at several different functions in
one evening. At work as well as socially, she sees polychronicity as
perfectly normal, "not a problem."

(Glazer & Palekar, 2013)
Time and Stress
• Personal Polytasking
• Organizational Polytasking
• National vs. Industry Culture
• Temporal Incongruence
![Page 31: Temporal Orientation and Stress Training](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65958d7f8b9aa4758b4843/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Findings:
1. Non-Asian Indians prefer polytasking
2. Non-Asian Indians see organizations as preferring polytasking
3. Temporal congruence for Non-Asian Indians yielded greater well-being
4. Temporal incongruence for Indians in India yielded greater strain
(lower well-being, lower job satisfaction, and lower AC)

Why is it important to examine temporal orientation and stress?
The Dark Side of Stress
![Page 33: Temporal Orientation and Stress Training](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65958d7f8b9aa4758b4843/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Unhealthy lifestyles
-High job strain 34% more likely to have an unhealthy lifestyle
• Burnout
-Emotional Exhaustion poor cognitive functioning
• Cognitive Functioning
-quicker processing, but more errors at work
-took longer to fill out paperwork
Mistakes and accidents at work
(Heikkila et al., 2013; Allan et al., 2014; Deligkaris et al., 2014)
![Page 34: Temporal Orientation and Stress Training](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65958d7f8b9aa4758b4843/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Best Practices
Person-Environment (P-E) fit
“When an individual is not compatible with a given environment,
the person may develop stress”
Temporal Congruence
“The rhythm of work fits the individual’s preference”
Flexible Work Arrangements
(Glazer & Palekar, 2013; Hecht & Allen, 2005; Leonard, 2008)

Key Takeaways
• Temporal orientation can guide work behavior
• Culture and other environmental factors can influence one’s temporal orientation
• The stress process may be universal, but magnitude in intensity varies
• Strains vary across cultures (environmental factors and opportunity)
• Temporal Incongruence may yield greater strain
• It is important to study all factors impacting occupational stress because stress
has a very dark side!
• P-E fit and temporal congruence may yield greater employee well-being
