In recent years, there has been a burgeoning interest around “time” or “temporality” as a subject of study in workplace behavior at the microlevel. This research is, however, not integrated systematically till date. The purpose of this study is to address this gap with a comprehensive review of this domain.
The present study conducts a large-scale bibliometric analysis of 1,120 papers, collected from Scopus, to decipher the structural patterns underlying this research domain.
The analysis unraveled the performance statistics (articles, journals, authors) and intellectual structure (themes, keywords, ontological position) of temporal research. The authors also present a matrix of extant and emergent thought in time studies and discuss how they fare on causality versus dynamicity dimensions.
Future research directions are discussed extensively based on qualitative and quantitative insights.
This is a structured literature review combined with bibliometric analysis of a large corpus of research.
