Hurry Up! Perception of Time and Forms of Cooperation Within an Organizational Project
This paper examines the impact of convergence or divergence in time perceptions between members of a team on the forms of cooperation developed. Temporality is not studied here from an objective point of view, but subjective. There are two types of cooperation: Community (linked to the identification of the individual to the group) and complementary (based on the matching of individual interests). We analyze the merger of two medical units in a hospital by a longitudinal case study. This research shows that a convergence of temporalities would lead to Community cooperation, while a divergence would lead to complementary cooperation.
