Essai: Organizational Time: Modern, Symbolic and Postmodern Reflections
反思了现代、象征和后现代三种组织理论视角下时间概念的不同描绘，借鉴社会学理论中的时间隐喻，分析劳动过程中的时间商品化、工作场所民族志中的时间社会建构以及后福特主义中的时空压缩，倡导对组织理论中的时间进行多范式反思。
This paper reflects upon how the concept of time is depicted in three major perspectives of organization theory modem, symbolic and postmodern. In so doing, it draws upon time metaphors from sociological theory to make sense of time related issues in the evolution of organizational analysis. The paper analyses, for example, the commodification of time identified in labour process analysis; the social construction of time described in workplace ethnographies; and the compression of time (and space) proposed in writing on post-Fordism. Overall, the paper promotes a reflexive pluri-paradigm appreciation of time in organization theory and research.
