"You Want It When?" How Temporal Dissonance in IT Workers Contributes to Project Failures
نویسندگان
چکیده
IT projects continue to fail too frequently. One reason for these failures is interpersonal and motivational issues in IT workers. One possible cause for these issues is increased temporal dissonance in IT workers, which causes stress and cynicism. In study 1, we develop a measure of temporal dissonance and show its effect on stress.

Study 2 also partially confirms that there are differing temporal characteristics between IT workers and managers which may cause temporal dissonance.
