Time dimensions of work: Relationships with perceived organizational performance

Five of the thirteen work time dimensions identified by Schriber and Gutek (1987) were hypothesized to be directly related to perceived organizational performance. Perceptions of the time dimensions and organizational performance were gathered from managers in 122 manufacturing companies. Future orientation, autonomy of time use, and allocation of time were found to jointly predict performance, while scheduling and synchronization were not significant. Post-hoc analysis of the remaining time dimensions showed that awareness of time use was also directly related to perceived performance.
