Abstract: The research considers the relationship between
        individual work and group work activity. In
        particular, it asks how the characteristic temporal
        and spatial patterning of behaviour in the work
        environment relates to the modes of cooperative
        behaviour. A theoretical framework is suggested,
        that begins with the observation that individuals in
        office settings must routinely resolve conflicts
        between having uninterrupted periods of time in
        which to get their own work done, and being
        accessible for communication with others with whom
        they work.
