Time in the New Economy: The Impact of the Interaction of Individual and Structural Temporalities on Job Satisfaction
研究了新经济中分层任务时间(LTT)这一结构性时间特征对工作满意度的影响,发现个体多任务倾向(多时性)会调节这种关系,对多任务环境更适应的员工满意度更高。
abstract The 24/7 economy creates new organizational temporalities including a temporal structure called layered‐task time (LTT), characterized by greater simultaneity, fragmentation, contamination, and constraint. This paper develops a measure of LTT, and examines the relationship between its components and job satisfaction as moderated by an individual's polychronicity, or propensity for multitasking. A total of 306 employees from various jobs, organizations, and industries were surveyed. The LTT measures provide promising initial evidence of reliability and content validity. We also find that those who are more polychronic are more satisfied in environments characterized by a need for multitasking and using dissimilar skills, as well as organizational temporal constraint and unpredictable shifts in temporal boundaries. Finally, we discuss implications for research on temporal structures in the workplace.
