On an even keel: Temporal balance, ADHD, and self-employment
基于时间视角理论，研究发现时间平衡能力有助于多动冲动型ADHD个体从事自雇就业，但对注意力不集中型ADHD无显著影响，且不影响企业绩效。
Drawing on temporal perspective theory, we propose that temporal balance could be an essential undergird that helps individuals with ADHD engage in self-employment. In a sample of 354 employed and 510 self-employed individuals from Portugal, controlling for various individual and firm-related factors, those with higher hyperactivity/impulsivity and temporal balance are more likely to be self-employed. Temporal balance among those with higher inattention is not associated with self-employment. We find no effect of temporal balance and ADHD components on archival firm performance. The effect sizes are practically meaningful, and the findings call for the need for temporal focus in improving the odds of self-employment for those with higher ADHD hyperactivity/impulsivity.
