and Regional Studies at Chapel Hill. His research for the past several years has focused on human time allocation in the urban scene, including studies of f national, metropolitan, and community scope.Urban planners have long been accustomed to making analyses and developing proposals as though residents of the metropolitan area were homogeneous in their lifeways and value orientations. The preoccupation with people as cohorts in demographic studies appears to have diverted attention from looking at variations in the social characteristics of the people. Assuming basic standards of health, safety, and general welfare are met, it is increasingly clear that facilities and services must be more closely attuned to the life styles of client groups. Looking toward the development of a greater sensitivity to such concerns in urban planning, this article uses data on the allocation of time to different activities in the course of a day by residents of metropolitan areas for the purposes of studying activity patterns of urbanites.

“…Gender, for example, impacts how individuals conceptualize and plan for their futures (Maines and Hardesty 1987). Another gender implication is that employed women have less free time (Daly 1996,179) and are generally temporally worse-off than men (Szalai 1966); however, they also have developed multitasking strategies which mean they often are better at balancing work and home lives than men (Moen 2003). Moen (2003) argues for a gendered life-course perspective which emphasizes the importance of studying couples as a unit of analysis.…”

Beyond the Time Crunch: New Directions in the Sociology of Time and Work

The sociology of work is particularly poised to study the meaning of time within institutions and organizations at its most sociological manifestation – the point where groups of people come together to accomplish joint goals. Previous work has offered useful concepts to help us understand temporality and tempography, home and work balance, temporal practices and mindsets towards time. Most of this work, however, which directly or peripherally treats time in the workplace, has focussed on the work–life balance. The actual temporal experiences of workers, however, are relatively absent in this literature. In this review article, I outline previous contributions from sociologists of work and offer ways in which work from the broader literature on the sociology of time can enhance this field. I address how future research should focus on how “time work” is accomplished in workplaces and on issues of class and gender.
