Popis: Temporal patterns—recurring sequences of events, activities, and behaviors in organizations—are fundamental to understanding organizational dynamics. Yet their conceptualization in management studies remains fragmented, with diverse terminology and theoretical approaches hindering the integration of research findings. This review synthesizes the literature by identifying four distinct perspectives on temporal patterns: dictating, entraining, enacting, and reconceiving. Each perspective offers unique insights into how temporal patterns influence organizational dynamics. We unpack implicit theoretical tensions around agency, axiology, innovation, and ontology through what we term 'temporal reflection.' Consequently, we uncover three themes that bridge perspectives: temporal conflict, temporal competence, and temporal (un)bridging. These convergent themes offer opportunities for theoretical integrationand future research. Our review provides a holistic framework for understanding temporal patterns in management studies while identifying promising directions for cross-disciplinary dialogue and investigation.

Abstrakt:Temporal patterns—recurring sequences of events, activities, and behaviors in organizations—are fundamental to understanding organizational dynamics. Yet their conceptualization in management studies remains fragmented, with diverse terminology and theoretical approaches hindering the integration of research findings. This review synthesizes the literature by identifying four distinct perspectives on temporal patterns: dictating, entraining, enacting, and reconceiving. Each perspective offers unique insights into how temporal patterns influence organizational dynamics. We unpack implicit theoretical tensions around agency, axiology, innovation, and ontology through what we term 'temporal reflection.' Consequently, we uncover three themes that bridge perspectives: temporal conflict, temporal competence, and temporal (un)bridging. These convergent themes offer opportunities for theoretical integrationand future research. Our review provides a holistic framework for understanding temporal patterns in management studies while identifying promising directions for cross-disciplinary dialogue and investigation.
