   • 2009, Susan Cartwright, Cary L. Cooper, The Oxford Handbook of Organizational Well-being, page 305:

     Time-blind societies are more relaxed and have a more casual attitude towards punctuality than their “time-bound” peers. Hence what would be considered late in one society is not necessarily so in another.
