Change-Supportive Employee Behavior: Antecedents and the Moderating Role of Time (2011, methodology): “Our research thus demonstrates the inadequacy of the still “ubiquitous use of the single-snapshot technique” (Avital, 2000, p. 666) in studying organizational change (cf. Pettigrew et al., 2001).”
Reinterpreting Time in Fit Theory: Crafting and Recrafting Narratives of Fit in Medias Res (2011, background): “By failing to incorporate these temporal elements into our theories, we risk overlooking an important contextual influence on attitudes and behavior (e.g., Avital, 2000), something that is crucial to the human experience (Bluedorn & Denhardt, 1988).”
The “Other” Time: A Review of the Subjective Experience of Time in Organizations (2020, background): “For example, Avital (2000) states that “temporal elements do not merely change one's perception of a situation, but also provide a space for a richer and more meaningful interpretation…” (pp. 669-670).”
A Review of Cognitive Dissonance Theory in Management Research (2017, background): “Avital (2000) examined differences in scholars’ espoused attitudes about incorporating temporal factors into management research and their actual inclusion of such factors in their own publications.”
Construct Clarity in Theories of Management and Organization (2011, background): “Organizational constructs are subject to constraints of time because organizational phenomena tend to be temporal, and as a result, changes in time may affect the expression of any construct (Avital, 2000; Zaheer, Albert, & Zaheer, 1999).”
Job design in temporal context: a career dynamics perspective (2007, background): “influence employees’ motivation, effort, and performance at the present time (Avital, 2000; Pettigrew, 1997; Pettigrew, Woodman, & Cameron, 2001; Van de Ven, 1992).”
