这一定性研究探讨了时间与组织变革之间的关系，这是一个最近出现的学术兴趣领域。通过对管理者自己的变革故事的叙事分析，我在“相同”的组织背景下，在“相同”的政府授权的重大组织变革中，发现了五个不同的组织变革“世界”。该分析提供的证据表明，管理者在时间上理解他们的变化经验，以不同的方式积极配置过去，现在和未来之间的关系。在这样做的过程中，管理者以不同的方式构建组织变革及其实施的现实。这项研究增加了最近的工作联系时间和机构，展示了一个更广泛的时间基础比回顾意义，并有助于我们的研究和实施组织变革的知识。
This qualitative study explores the relationship between time and organizational change, a recently emerging area of scholarly interest. Through the narrative analysis of managers’ own stories of change, I discern five distinct “worlds” of organizational change within the “same” significant government mandated organizational change in the “same” organizational context. The analysis provides evidence that managers temporally make sense of their experiences of change, actively configuring the relationship between the past, present, and future in different ways. In doing so, managers construct the organizational change and their enacted reality of that organizational change in different ways. This research augments recent work linking time and agency, demonstrates a broader temporal basis than retrospection for sensemaking, and contributes to our knowledge of researching and implementing organizational change.
