The presented paper is a result of seeking an answer to the question about the way workers of the Voluntary Labour Corps (VLC) organize their time. The purpose of the authoress’s inquiry was to find and understand these activities, as well as to describe them as those that order life of a particular group of employees. The monographic method was applied, with Edward T. Hall’s concept of the two systems of time providing the theoretical basis of the research. The author came to the conclusion that the community in question organized their time by undertaking such activities as: popularizing information about the VLC as influenced by the events oh the past (which constitute the meaning of the macro-sequences); systematizing organizational events in accord with bureaucratically adopted convention of time as imposed by the institution documents (which constitute the essence of the micro-sequences); filling up local sequences with content full of nostalgia, interpretations and subjectivism, and weaving them from available VLC cultural artifacts with all their meanings and symbols. Such activities not only determine the course of the organizational life, but also make it more systematic, create the sense of predictability of the adopted social conventions, which, in turn, is supposed to strengthen the feeling of organizational safety.
