Abstract:
While there are many kinds of disagreements that can arise between supervisors and supervisees, time-based disagreements between leaders and followers have yet to be examined. Because of the major importance of time in organizations, examining temporal conflict in the dyadic context is essential. In the current study, antecedents (supervisor temporal Type A Personality) and consequences (goal blockage) of temporal conflict between supervisors and supervisees are examined. This study also highlights a characteristic (LMX) of the leader-follower relationship that may alleviate the negative effects of temporal conflict.
