Subject to the study were the sport managers’ individual time perceptions in correlation with the individual interhemispheric asymmetries. The study was designed to test 30 right-handed highly educated sport managers aged 25-35 years (n = 30). The asymmetries were rated using the Hands Crossing Test by A.R. Luriya. The managers’ psychological time was tested and rated using the Temporal Semantics Differentiation Test by E.I. Golovakha and A.A. Kronik. The study demonstrated that the individual psychological times of the managers with dominating left frontal lobe showed increased rates on the Time Intensity scale. The study data and analyses also showed the higher developmental rates of the verbal intelligence, emotional stability, domination and self-control, field-independence, anticipation ability, overall internality and self-management ability (including the goal-setting ability). The study findings may be interpreted as indicative of the managers with dominating left frontal lobe being more inclined to perceive and rate time in a more intense manner and, hence, expected to show higher self-management, self-control and anticipation abilities, i.e. the qualities of high professional value for a sport manager.

Keywords: goal-setting, psychological time, asymmetry, management, individual differences.
