| description | Given the importance of time as a category of analysis in
organisational research, this study’s objective was to analyse the time
perceptions of young Brazilian workers. The study was guided by the
five time dimensions proposed by Bluedorn and Jaussi (2007):
polychronicity, speed, punctuality, temporal depth and entrainment.
The field work consisted of a descriptive case study, paired with a
quantitative analysis of data collected with a structured, closed and
self-administered questionnaire based on Paiva, Dutra, Santos and
Barros’s (2013) Time Perception Scale. The data were analysed using
univariate and bivariate statistics. Monochronic, slow and punctual
behaviours, with past temporal depth, predominate among young
workers. The results also show that respondents are highly temporally
entrained from various perspectives, particularly entrainment through
synchrony, followed by entrainment through leadership and
conduction. Based on these findings, the contributions and limitations
of the study are presented, and new possibilities for future research
are suggested. |
