Below are a few examples of research topics that could fit the scope of this Special Topic Forum\, but this li st is by no means exhaustive.How do individuals change over time? How do p rocesses associated with aging\, goal trajectories\, domain experience\, a nd the dynamics of motivation affect such change? How do individuals make sense of time as they experience its passage\, such as by using narratives or interpreting their identities across time? How do these experiences ch ange the way in which they manage or organize\, leading to a more diverse set of individual\, team\, or organizational outcomes?How do teams change over time—have we moved beyond phase models of team development? How do th ese processes relate to the ways in which team members make sense of time subjectively\, such as team mental models?How do organizations change or e volve over time and do these trajectories influence organizational outcome s? Can time-related concepts explain differences in positive (or negative) \, individual\, organizational\, or societal outcomes? Relatedly\, how do organizations (and the people within) make sense of time subjectively thro ugh managerial cognition\, such as top managers’ temporal focus? How do or ganizational members construct time\, through their language or actions\, to influence organizational outcomes?How are macro-environments and organi zational fields affected by the passage of time? Institutionalization and institutional change are usually associated with action over an extended p eriod of time. However\, there may be instances where the passage of time for substantive macro-level change varies\; why and how does this happen?H ow do temporal processes at the micro-\, meso-\, and macro-levels of analy sis interact within and beyond organizations and with what effect? How muc h can organizational views of time shape employee views of time or are the se views fixed upon organizational entry (i.e.\, a form of temporal fit)? Is there anything leaders can do to change perceptions of time in a team\, organization\, or institutional field? Similarly\, what happens when the temporal assumptions of different individuals\, groups\, or organizations collide? How do people negotiate/reconcile conflicts in temporal perspecti ves? What are the key contingencies that might explain these processes and their outcomes?Much research speaks to clock-time aspects of temporal str uctures and the longitudinal models they spur\, yet subjective time is cri tical to individual behaviors and collective organizing. How do individual s and collectives retrospectively account for and prospectively anticipate experiences? Further\, time is not only perceived cognitively\, it is als o felt. How do affective reactions to the past and anticipated emotions ab out the future influence organizational actions and outcomes?Time is const rued differently across cultures and languages. What can we learn about th ese differences and how can these differences inform how we manage and org anize\, especially in contributing to a diversity of organizational outcom es?To what extent is the perceived duration of time important for existing theories of individual and collective experiences? For example\, how does the perception of “slow versus fast” as well as “early versus late” shape motivation\, cognition\, and performance? How can we understand specific motivational impulses\, such as patience and impatience\, that inherently combine clock time with subjective experiences of time?How does time funct ion as a resource? Substantial theory explains how managers discount futur e sums of money. But time itself is an important input because building a sustainable business requires investments of time—both today and in the fu ture. How do organizational members perceive and value their future time c ommitments\, and what are the consequences for their choices and behavior? The identification and management of grand challenges with inherent time-r elated properties\, such as climate change\, income inequality\, biodivers ity\, social movements\, and pandemics raise important questions. How do o rganizational and societal processes unfold when they involve multiple gen erations of people? How can time-related theorizing help to solve these gr and challenges?ReferencesAncona\, D.

Over 2
0 years ago\, AMR published a special issue highlighting the importance of
a “temporal lens” for understanding management phenomena (Ancona\, Goodma
n\, Lawrence\, &\; Tushman\, 2001). Since then\, the concept of time ha
s illuminated much of management studies\, garnering important insights in
to individual and team development\, organizational history\, processes\,
and routines\, and issues of sustainability. Scholars are now exploring ti
me-variant relationships with rich longitudinal datasets. However\, the th
eoretical development of time has lagged behind the empirical work\, with
many time-related concepts underexplored (e.g.\, horizon\, pace\, rhythm\,
trajectory\, timing\, momentum\, sequence\, temporal structures\, tempora
l depth\, temporal work and many more). Seeing management without temporal
dimensions creates blind spots and distortions similar to those experienc
ed when seeing the earth as a two-dimensional map.
Time is a critical dimension in understanding management\, organizati ons\, and societies\, especially in periods of profound change. This Speci al Topic Forum seeks not only to expand theorizing about time\, timing\, a nd temporality\, but also to respond to contemporary developments in socie tal and organizational contexts. We call for contributions that foreground time-related theorizing\, with specific management or organizational cont ent domains (if included) serving as the context. We ask contributors to i lluminate how time-related theorizing speaks to issues or challenges facin g individual\, teams\, organizational and societies.
We a re broadly interested in the role that time plays in how processes unfold\ ; how individuals\, teams and organizations engage with\, navigate\, manip ulate\, or experience time\; and the impact time or timing has on performa nce\, adaptation\, change\, or social movements. The list of the ways in w hich time can illuminate management studies is intentionally broad\, as th e domain itself is largely underexplored. Therefore\, we encourage a wide range of submissions that span management disciplines\, levels of analysis \, geographies\, and styles of theorizing. Papers can be philosophical or more applied. We also welcome submissions that draw from non-management di sciplines to inform temporal theorizing in management and organizational r esearch. We are intentional in our desire to include diverse voices and gl obal perspectives.
In sum\, we envision this special issu e as providing deeper understanding of time to clarify and enhance knowled ge that can explain phenomena important to management studies. By looking at the state of the art across the entire field of management (and beyond) \, we expect these articles to identify the progress that has been made in the past two decades and push temporal theorizing further to lay a founda tion for future management research.
If you have any conc erns about the relevance of your ideas to this special issue\, we encourag e you to reach out to one of the Special Topic Forum editors. Below are a few examples of research topics that could fit the scope of this Special T opic Forum\, but this list is by no means exhaustive.
