Hey just wanted to suggest you can look at organisation or time management problems and the motivation to punctuality. Or maybe work related punctuality example: if am late i lost my job. Looking forward to read your chapter. All the best ~Iga.leszczynska

Hi, interesting topic! I noticed that you have punctuality motivation for different cultures, so I thought you could include some individual differences. Do people experience anxiety when they are running late so this motivates them to arrive on time? Why is that some people are always late? These people obviously don't have a lot of punctuality motivation. What are the differences between these people, is it upbringing or personality etc ? So perhaps looking at these individual differences will add to your chapter. U3100230 (discuss • contribs) 01:44, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello! What a fascinating topic you have chosen. I believe culture is a contributing factor to punctuality motivation. For example in tonga, it is very common for tongans to run late (island time) or never even show up. On the contrary, in western cultures time and punctuality are very important. If someone is repeatedly appearing late to their job in australia, they would likely get fired. However, in other cultures it is the norm.

According to one of the articles below, people are on time because they are expected to be. Thus, you can use the social learning theory to further explain this assumption and look into it further.

Goodluck and i look forward to reading this soon :) --U3034876 (discuss • contribs) 07:06, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
