Abstract. This study addresses prior mixed findings on the relationship between future time perspective (FTP) and well-being as well as examines the associations between three aspects of FTP and life satisfaction in the health and friendship domains. 159 Germans, 97 US Americans, and 240 Hong Kong Chinese, aged 19–86 years, completed a survey on future self-views (valence) and life satisfaction. They also reported the extent to which they perceived future time as expanded vs. limited (time extension) and meaningful (openness). Findings revealed that individuals with more positive future self-views had higher satisfaction. However, those who perceived their future as more meaningful or perceived more time in their future reported higher satisfaction even when future self-views were less positive.

PurposeDrawing on social exchange theory and socio-emotional selectivity theory, this paper examines the role of occupational future time perspective (OFTP) in the relationship between age-inclusive HR practices (AIHRP) and the thriving of older workers.Design/methodology/approachA two-wave cross-sectional design was adopted with bootstrapped parallel multiple mediation analyses. In addition, polynomial regression with response surface analysis was used to examine the extent to which combinations of focus on opportunities and remaining time relate to thriving at work. Data were collected from 310 older workers working in 13 companies located in Portugal.FindingsAIHRP have direct effects on OFTP dimensions (i.e. focus on opportunities and remaining time), and indirect effects on the two thriving dimensions (i.e. learning and vitality) via focus on opportunities. The positive relationship between AIHRP and learning was mediated by remaining time, while no significant mediating effect on vitality through remaining time was found. Additionally, surface analysis showed that overall thriving and learning increase more sharply when focus on opportunities is higher than remaining time, rather than vice versa.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the literature by showing the importance of personal resources like OFTP in the relationship between AIHRP and the thriving of older workers. It also provides further support for the distinctiveness of the two OFTP dimensions as remaining time was not linked to vitality, whereas focus on opportunities was linked to both thriving dimensions.

ABSTRACTLong-term unemployment of older people can have severe consequences for individuals, communities and ultimately economies, and is therefore a serious concern in countries with an ageing population. However, the interplay of chronological age and other individual difference characteristics in predicting older job seekers' job search is so far not well understood. This study investigated relationships among age, proactive personality, occupational future time perspective (FTP) and job search intensity of 182 job seekers between 43 and 77 years in Australia. Results were mostly consistent with expectations based on a combination of socio-emotional selectivity theory and the notion of compensatory psychological resources. Proactive personality was positively related to job search intensity and age was negatively related to job search intensity. Age moderated the relationship between proactive personality and job search intensity, such that the relationship was stronger at higher compared to lower ages. One dimension of occupational FTP (perceived remaining time left in the occupational context) mediated this moderating effect, but not the overall relationship between age and job search intensity. Implications for future research, including the interplay of occupational FTP and proactive personality, and some tentative practical implications are discussed.

Abstract: In the Indonesian hotel industry, high employee turnover rates are very common costly. One of the reasons that causes hotel employee turnover to be high is low commitment. The low commitment is triggered by the low hope of hotel employees to remain and to be committed to continuing their careers in the hotel where they are working today. Employees need certainty about their future that should be guaranteed by hotel management. This study tries to analyze the role of Future Time Perspective (FTP) and its effect on hope and continuance commitment. The data were derived from distributing questionnaires to hotel employees spread in 45 three-star hotels in Surabaya, and subsequently analyzed using the General Structured Component Analysis (GSCA) tool. The results show that FTP influences hope and continuance commitment significantly. Similarly, hope has a significant effect on continuance commitment. Hope is also able to act as a mediator between FTP and continuance commitment.Keywords: hotel industry, future time perspective, hope, continuance commitment Implikasi Future Time Perspective dan Harapan Terhadap Continuance Commitment Karyawan HotelAbstrak: Di industri perhotelan Indonesia, tingkat turnover karyawan yang tinggi sudah menjadi rahasia umum dan sangat memakan biaya. Salah satu alasan yang menyebabkan tingginya tingkat turnover karyawan hotel adalah komitmen yang rendah. Komitmen yang rendah tersebut dipicu oleh rendahnya tingkat harapan karyawan hotel untuk tetap tinggal serta berkomitmen untuk melanjutkan karir di hotel tempat mereka bekerja saat ini. Karyawan hotel membutuhkan kepastian akan masa depannya yang seharusnya bisa dijamin oleh pihak manajemen hotel. Penelitian ini mencoba menganalisa peran Future Time perspective (FTP) dan pengaruhnya terhadap harapan dan continuance commitment karyawan hotel. Data penelitian berasal dari penyebaran kuesioner kepada karyawan hotel yang tersebar di 45 hotel bintang tiga di Surabaya dan selanjutnya dianalisis menggunakan alat analisis General Structured Component Analysis (GSCA). Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa FTP mempengaruhi harapan dan continuance commitment secara signifikan. Harapan juga berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap continuance commitment. Harapan juga berperan sebagai mediator antara FTP dan continuance commitment.Kata kunci: industri perhotelan, future time perspective, harapan, continuance commitment
