Abstract

In frontof contemporary ways of living, where time is considered an increasingly scarce, hardto understand and manage, the way in which people deal with their time and their personal and professional demands can bring the organizational context and the individual. In case of young workers, public marked by idiosyncrasies and difficulties in work’s scene, preferences and strategies to deal with time in their activities can impact their performance and the performance of the organization where they are. Given this, the objective of this work is to analyze and compare how the temporal perceptions of young workers assisted by ESPRO in the cities of São Paulo(SP) and Curitiba (PR) are configured. A case study was carried out with field research, quantitative and descriptive. Data collection was done through questionnaires and they were treated from univariate and bivariate descriptive statistical analysis. There was a certain consonance between the findings of São Paulo (SP) and Curitiba (PR) regarding speed, punctuality and entrainment.In other side, there are considerable discrepancies regarding the polychronicity and temporal depth of the young, showing that time is perceived and experienced differently by the groups addressed.
