Chapter 5 in Time and Temporality in Organisations, 2022, pp 185-231 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, the subjective temporality discussed in the previous chapter is placed into a broader social context. Therefore, this chapter discusses intersubjective temporality and the socially constructed nature of time. The chapter highlights the plurality of social times. It covers attempts to align objective and subjective time in organizational settings through temporal structures and temporal work. The temporal orientation of activities questions the dominance of the temporal orientation of human actors. Finally, I discuss a multi-layered social time as a temporal context for all social activities, and the mutual interdependencies of all the layers in their becoming in irreversible time.
