The global, twenty-four/seven economy and the organizational changes it has generated have enormous implications for the organization, experience and use of time in the workplace. In addition to eroding the boundary between home and work and creating multiple time pressures, the need for businesses to compete in a twenty-four/seven global economy has problematized time in the workplace. Volume 17 of Research in the Sociology of Work will include manuscripts that examine either empirically or theoretically, all aspects of time in the workplace.  Research from sociology, business and related disciplines, and economics are welcome.
