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 (discusscontribs) 01:44, 20 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Suggestions

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 (discusscontribs) 07:06, 23 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Heading casing

edit
 
FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings. For example, use:

==Cats and dogs==

rather than

==Cats and Dogs==

Overall

edit
  1. Overall, this is a solid chapter.
  2. For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below.
  1. Theory is well covered and explained with examples.
  2. Perhaps revisit the opening case study from the Overview in the Conclusion.
  1. Research is well cited.
  2. The Reeve (2015) textbook is over-used as a citation; preferably consult and cite primary, peer-reviewed sources.
  3. When describing important research studies, provide some indication of the nature of the sample and possibly cultural context.
  4. When discussing important research findings, indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
  1. Written expression is generally very good.
    1. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured.
    2. Add bullet-points for See also and External links.
    3. Tables and/or Figures are used effectively.
    4. (Excessive use of) coloured boxes was removed so as to aid accessibility/readability; strive for simple layout (e.g., as per Wikipedia articles)
  3. Learning features
    1. Add Interwiki links (e.g., to relevant Wikipedia articles and other Wikiversity book chapters) to make the text more interactive.
    2. Quiz questions are used effectively to encourage reader engagement.
  4. Check and correct the use of abbreviations (such as "e.g.," and "i.e.,").
  5. Spelling, grammar, and proofreading are excellent.
  6. APA style
    1. Put in-text citations in alphabetical order.
    2. Check and correct the use of "&" vs. "and" (Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets).
    3. Check and correct the APA style for how to report numbers (Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numbers (e.g., 10)).
    4. The reference list is not in full APA style.
