| Summary: | The research examines the relationship between the planning fallacy and
estimates of task duration. The planning fallacy refers to a prediction, in which people
underestimate the time it will take to complete tasks, despite the knowledge that tasks
have taken longer than planned tasks. This study tested two hypotheses concerning
people’s predictions of task duration time. The first hypothesis is that good time
managers accurately estimate task duration. Study1 attempts to analyze the
relationship between the planning fallacy and time management by the time
management behavior scale. The second is that a person with high levels of self
efficacy does not tend to underestimate task duration time. Study2 attempts to analyze
the relationship between the planning fallacy and self-efficacy by the generalized self
efficacy scale. The result of study1 supported the first hypothesis slightly (r = .344),
but study2 was unsupported (r = .103) the second hypothesis. This result suggests the
possibility that those who tend to do time management improve the underestimation
of task duration time. It will require more systematic research. |
