In view of the significance of the presented problem the authors point out that the modern development of occupational ethics and the raised economic standards result in an increased demand for punctual individuals in various aspects of social life. The authors also indicate the insufficient research material in this area. The hermeneutic insight into the nature and significance of punctuality made it possible for the authors to propose, among others, that punctuality constitutes a mental disposition facilitating inter-human communication; punctuality may be considered to be a personal determinant of the quality of cooperation in occupational environments. The authors propose to examine the term “punctuality” first of all as a feature of character or personality, as a component of volitional control, as component of personal a principle of upbringing and as a component of the ideal of upbringing. The authors prove that punctuality, a very important feature of the human nature, has also its clear cultural foundation. They propose their own viewpoint concerning the shaping of the volitional sphere in children and the youth, especially as regards punctuality.
