Publisher's Synopsis
How to keep up to date with the current developments and issues in the study and practice of organization behavior? That is the challenge for students, academics and practitioners.
The series complements the standard texts of OB and the more comprehensive, historical review volumes, by offering concise, critical and stimulating accounts of the main issues and developments in topics of current and ongoing importance in OB.
This volume of Trends focuses on issues relating to Time in Organizational Behavior. From a cultural and cross–cultural perspective, this volume examines such topics as:
- Organizational and researcher–derived time scales and their impact on our understanding of organizational behviour
- Cross–cultural conceptions of time in careers; career transitions from different time perspectives and their connection to person–career fit
- The interplay of the demands on personal and organizational time, raising issues associated with viewing time as a resource (somewhere between "money" and "life")
- Corporate work–life initiatives and organizational motives
- The malleability of organizational identity over time
