Summary
Although the importance of temporal individual differences has been recognized at the individual-level of analysis, emerging literature is giving increasing attention to the role of temporal orientation at the team-level. In addition, the limited prior work investigating temporal orientation in teams has relied on naturally occurring team composition, not allowing for optimal control regarding how compositional effects affect team processes. Addressing these research needs, this study manipulated time urgency configuration in an experimental design to examine the influence of time urgency composition and diversity on temporal conflict and team temporal leadership, as moderated by extraversion. Results from 81 student teams participating in this lab study revealed that teams composed of more time urgent individuals reported higher team temporal leadership. Extraversion was found to be a significant moderator in that the relationship between time urgency diversity and team temporal leadership was weaker when mean extraversion was lower. There was no significant relationship between time urgency diversity and temporal conflict, nor was this relationship significantly moderated by extraversion.
