“…Several authors have argued that this situation has greatly hindered the progress of research in the field of work motivation, as well as in other areas of organisational behavior (cf.

This study considers the complex dynamics of work motivation. Forty-eight employees completed a work-motivation diary several times per day over a period of four weeks. The obtained time series were analysed using different methodologies derived from chaos theory (i.e. recurrence plots, Lyapunov exponents, correlation dimension and surrogate data). Results showed chaotic dynamics in 75% of cases. The findings confirm the universality of chaotic behavior within human behavior, challenge some of the underlying assumptions on which work motivation theories are based, and suggest that chaos theory may offer useful and relevant information on how this process is managed within organizations. Keywords: work motivation, deterministic chaos, complexity science, diary technique.Se realizó un estudio con el objetivo de explorar la posible dinámica caótica de la motivación en el trabajo. Cuarenta y ocho trabajadores contestaron un diario sobre su motivación en el trabajo varias veces al día durante cuatro semanas. Las series obtenidas fueron sometidas a diferentes técnicas de análisis no lineal derivadas de la teoría del caos (gráficos de recurrencia, exponentes de Lyapunov, dimensión de correlación y surrogate data). Los resultados mostraron dinámicas caóticas en un 75% de los casos. Ello confirma la universalidad del comportamiento caótico también dentro del comportamiento humano. Tales resultados cuestionan algunos de los supuestos fundamentales en los que se basan las teorías más establecidas y sugieren que la teoría del caos puede ofrecer información útil y relevante acerca de cómo gestionar la motivación en contextos laborales.Palabras clave: motivación en el trabajo, caos determinista, ciencia de la complejidad, técnica del diario.

“…It shows the perception of time, its importance and management in organizational contexts (Palmer & Schoorman, 1999) that leads towards the experience of time pressure among employees (Major et al, 2002;Teuchmann et al, 1999;Jackson & Martin, 1996). In this regard many authors have discussed the need of time management for better incorporating time in theoretical models and research designs (Wright, 2002;Ancona et al, 2001;George & Jones, 2000;) as people can manage their time and improved their efforts (Macan, 1994) to make their working environment supportive.…”

Time is a precious and so important thing as well as the blessing of the Creator in the world. It is the time which makes, changes, creates, decorates, maintains, develops, strengthens, and successes the present and secures the future of the people and the nations. Time considers a great cure and care for any unethical, unsocial and invaluable matter and event. Time settles each and every hurdle and difficulty of any system and nation with its pace, speed and direction. If time is managed properly according to needs and the requirements of the matters and phenomenon of any nation then no one can stop any nation to be a developed and successful.This research paper aims to explore and investigate the importance and see the impact of Time Management in the professional life of teachers and the performance of the students of Primary schools in the districts of Hyderabad. In these connections 30 primary teachers were constituted as the sample of the study. Interviews were conducted on the Primary school Teachers of Government / Public and Private School Teachers in order to collect the data about Time Management of teachers and the Performance of the students. A qualitative research design was used to collect data from the sample.

“…2 Further studies have noted that organizations often pursue both types of innovations. Scholars assume that effectively balancing both types of innovations can enhance dynamic capabilities and provide additional competitive advantage (Ancona, Goodman, Lawrence, & Tushman, 2001;Colbert, 2004). However, there are various organizational tensions (such as the "capabilityrigidity paradox") to finding an appropriate balance between different innovation objectives (Atuahene-Gima, 2005;Brown & Eisenhardt, 1997) and the interrelationships between internal and external knowledge sourcing processes (Cohen & Levinthal, 1990;Kogut & Zander, 1992;Lin, Yang, & Demirkan, 2007;Raisch et al, 2009).…”
