Abstract
|
|
Several ideas are outlined that help place a focus on time
and the way in which it affects many issues relevant to
HRM. The concept of time-discounting is introduced, and
its relevance to a range of organisational decisions
outlined. A brief summary is provided of a series of
studies testing time discounting in relation to training
and career-related choices. Finally, future research
needs are highlighted.
