The notion of satisfaction with the use of one's time has not been operationalized previously. Based on qualitative interviews, we propose a concept of positive time use comprised by four components: self-congruence of daily activities, balance between activities, efficient use of time, and a sense of mastery over one's time.
Using data from two UK adult samples ( = 173 and = 357), we developed a new measure, Positive Time Use Inventory (PTUI), and investigated its structural and convergent validity.
The associations of positive time use with balanced time perspective, affect balance, satisfaction with life, sense of coherence, and self-reported satisfaction with time use indicate convergent and discriminant validity of the new measure. Positive time use partially explained the associations of balanced time perspective with subjective well-being and fully mediated the effects of future time perspective and time management on subjective well-being. We propose positive time use as a new model of temporal well-being, which brings together the notions of work-life balance, time efficiency, and time mastery in a single comprehensive framework, helping to inform the time management coaching interventions.
此前尚未对时间使用满意度这一概念进行实际应用。基于定性访谈，我们提出了一个由四个要素构成的积极时间使用概念：日常活动的自我一致性、活动之间的平衡、时间的有效利用以及对自身时间的掌控感。
利用来自两个英国成年人样本（分别为173人和357人）的数据，我们开发了一种新的测量工具——积极时间使用量表（PTUI），并对其结构效度和收敛效度进行了研究。
积极时间使用与平衡时间观、情感平衡、生活满意度、连贯感以及自我报告的时间使用满意度之间的关联表明了该新测量工具的收敛效度和区分效度。积极时间使用部分解释了平衡时间观与主观幸福感之间的关联，并完全中介了未来时间观和时间管理对主观幸福感的影响。我们提出积极时间使用作为一种新的时间幸福感模型，它将工作与生活平衡、时间效率和时间掌控等概念整合在一个单一的综合框架中，有助于为时间管理指导干预提供信息。
