Personal anxiety and tolerance to uncertainty of employees with different attitudes to time
The article, involving empirical material, discusses the relationship to the time of public civil servants with different levels of personal anxiety and tolerance to uncertainty. When examining 90 employees using a complex of psychodiagnostic methods, including a time-ratio scale, a personal anxiety assessment scale and
a general tolerance to uncertainty scale, the following was established. Employees have low and moderate levels of personal anxiety. Civil servants with low levels of personal anxiety have a greater tolerance for uncertainty than employees with moderate indicators of anxiety. In employees with a moderate level of anxiety, temporary freedom is the dominant type of attitude to time, while in employees with a low level of anxiety temporary infantilism prevails. It has been shown that the determinants of «temporal infantilism» are a positive attitude towards novelty, combined with the desire to avoid solving complex problems and uncertain situations, while for «temporal freedom» a positive attitude towards novelty and complex problems, but a negative attitude towards uncertain situations.
