Abstract
I integrate temporal self-regulatory theory with literature on personal value of time and social
information processing theory to consider an individual's adoption of feedback avoiding
behavior as a temporal self-regulatory strategy motivated by both internal factors (i.e., an
individual employee's monochronicity) and external factors (i.e., the interaction partner's
monochronicity and their relationship quality). In a two-wave time-lagged, two-source field
study with 92 Chinese mentor-protégé dyads, I found that protégés' monochronicity was
positively associated with their feedback avoiding behavior and this relationship was mitigated
by mentors' monochronicity. Results also showed that this two-way interaction was further
moderated by mentor-protégé mentorship quality. S...[

I integrate temporal self-regulatory theory with literature on personal value of time and social

monochronicity and their relationship quality). In a two-wave time-lagged, two-source field
study with 92 Chinese mentor-protégé dyads, I found that protégés' monochronicity was
positively associated with their feedback avoiding behavior and this relationship was mitigated
by mentors' monochronicity. Results also showed that this two-way interaction was further
moderated by mentor-protégé mentorship quality. Specifically, when mentor-protégé mentorship quality was high, the moderation effect of mentor monochronicity became stronger such that
protégés’ monochronicity was not only less positively related but also became negatively related
to their feedback avoiding behavior. I discuss important theoretical and practical implications.
