Space and time in the postmodern polity

Simultaneity, Sequentiality, and Speed: Organizational Messages About Multiple-Task Completion

“…It also extends our current understanding of multiple-task completion preferences, and allows elaboration on how temporal values and work pace can collectively inform a contemporary perspective on multitasking. It thus contributes to the growing body of communication scholarship relating to issues of human temporality (Ballard, 2009;Ballard & Seibold, 2000, 2003Baron, 2008Baron, , 2010Bennett, 2000;Bruneau, 1979;Buzzanell & Liu, 2005;Hylmö & Buzzanell, 2002;Katz & Aakhus, 2002;Kirby & Krone, 2002;Kleinman, 2009;McKerrow, 1999;Monge & Kalman, 1996;Nadesan, 1997;Peterson, 1996;Stephens, 2007;Stephens & Rains, 2011;Turner & Reinsch, 2007;Wolburg, 1999Wolburg, , 2001, and underscores its unique relevance in contemporary organizational settings.…”
