Question

Jose is from Brazil and is currently enrolled in an MBA program at a U.S. university. He routinely comes to class 30-60 minutes late and does not turn in assignments by the deadline. One of his professors pulled him aside and asked him why he's always late for class and turns his work in late. Jose was surprised that his professor was bothered by this as this behavior is entirely acceptable in Brazil. In fact, it's expected. Which of the following best describes Jose's time perspective?
a. spontaneous
b. parallel
c. monochronic
d. polychronic
e. variable

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is d. polychronic .

Explanation:

The polycronic time is related to the time where it is about executing several tasks at the same time, the work is constantly interrupted, the commitments are fulfilled if possible and constant changes are made in the planning.

Millions of dollars are lost annually, because people mistakenly believe that being a polycronic turns them into "multitasking", a theory that was proven a few years ago, where it was concluded that only 2% of the Population is.

This means that if you are a polycronic, you can lose up to 60% of your productivity due to lack of planning, interruptions and lost time due to switching between tasks, since it takes a long time to resume something unfinished just at the point where it was left, This will necessarily require a mental review to remember where you stayed.
