Abstract

We present Time Perception Management (TPM)-a conceptual framework for organizing research and managerial issues regarding time perceptions in service systems. The TPM framework proposes that customers perceptions of time in service systems are affected by factors that operate both before and after, as well as during, the actual service encounter. Moreover, whereas some of these factors are related to the specific service system, others are the result of the generic service type and personal/sociocultural characteristics. The framework has important implications for managing and measuring time perceptions and for the relationship between time perceptions and customer satisfaction.
