A new study titled “Power and Time Availability” by the University of California Berkeley has found that the more power you possess, the more time you feel like you have at your disposal. The study asked a few hundred people, some primed as “bosses,” and others as “employees,” to fill out surveys about how much time they felt they had to complete a specific set of brain teasers. They found that the “bosses” often thought they could pack more tasks in to a finite amount of time,
“Four studies experimentally demonstrated that power increases perceptions of available time, and that perceived control over time underlies this effect,” write the study’s authors Alice Moon and Serena Chen. In other words, your boss thinks they have more control over time, and thus feels like they have more time to spend.
