| Abstract: | The authors propose a theoretical framework identifying how work group members' experience of time is created and sustained through task-related communication structures. The model addresses 10 dimensions of time- separation, scheduling, precision, pace, present time perspective, future time perspective, flexibility, linearity, scarcity, and urgency-and proposes how three communication structures central to organizational work-coordination methods, workplace technologies, and feedback cycles-contribute to members' temporal experience. The model incorporates the complex interplay among cultural, environmental, and individual factors as well. Testable propositions intended to guide future research are offered. |
