Waiting for Service: The Relationship between Delays and Evaluations of Service

Taylor, Shirley·1994·Journal of Marketing

Abstract

Delays in service are becoming increasingly common; yet their effects on service evaluations are relatively unknown. The author presents a model of the wait experience, which assesses the effects of delay duration, attribution for the delay, and degree to which time is filled, on affective and evaluative reactions to the delay. An empirical test of the model with delayed airline passengers reveals that delays do affect service evaluations; however, this impact is mediated by negative affective reactions to the delay. The degree to which the service provider is perceived to have control and the degree to which the delayed customer's time is filled also indirectly affect service evaluations, mediated by the customers’ affective reactions of uncertainty and anger.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
