Today there is widespread awareness of the fact that time has been
under-investigated in organizational studies. This book addresses
the need to bridge the gap between the predominantly "timeless"
theories and models that scholars have produced and the daily
experiences of employees and managers, in which time is salient and
extremely important. These chapters offer a broad range of
concepts, models, and methods that are tailored to this purpose.
The first part of the book is devoted to the way in which people in
organizations manage time, summarizing research findings,
presenting novel ideas on a broad range of issues and examining
issues such as whether time can be managed, how people are affected
by deadlines and how do strategic changes in organizations affect
individuals' careers and sense of identity. The second part is
about time as embedded in collective behaviours and experiences,
and in temporal regimes linked to organizational structures. It
discusses ways to study such collective patterns and their
relationships to management practices, and addresses topics such as
sensemaking of dynamic events, rhythmic patterns and their impact
on organizational effectiveness, time in industrial relations, and
power and temporal hegemony. A third part with a single concluding
chapter looks at possibilities for integrating the various
approaches and provides suggestions for future research. This book
adopts a pluralistic approach, arguing against timeless conceptions
in organizational theory and behaviour and instead emphasising the
importance of temporal analysis.
