The productivity imperative: Time management after the organization<\/span><\/h1>\n

See the video of the talk<\/a> introduced by co-head of lab Marisa Cohn<\/span><\/p>\n


\nThis talk explores the emergence of productivity as a way of thinking about workplace performance at the turn of the last century and its ongoing consequences for the administration of labor in corporations today. This brief history of time management offers a reminder of the philosophical underpinnings for productivity, a reappraisal of its original premises, and a set of provocations regarding its ongoing status and relevance in the modern workplace. At a macro-level, productivity is a form of economic modeling that informs enterprise forecasts and broader measures of national efficiency. But as Gregg’s previous research has shown (Gregg 2011), for knowledge workers, productivity is also experienced as an archly personal concern. To be productive is to display one of the consummate skills of the corporate professional: the accomplishment of time mastery.<\/span><\/p>\n

The productivity imperative is an intimate interpellation, the cumulative effect of resourcing decisions that urge employees to \u201cdo more with less\u201d and \u201cwork smarter, not harder.\u201d Yet there is a significant contradiction in the pressure to be productive in light of the decline in average salaries, the dwindling supply of secure, stable jobs and the threat of office automation. In the face of these overlapping trends, the practice of productivity is a distracting postsecular pursuit propagated by corporations to accommodate and cathect the diverse motivations of today\u2019s globally distributed employees. <\/span><\/p>\n
