Abstract: | While the reduction of cycle time in organizational processes is directly associated with improved performance, quality, and customer satisfaction, limited research has been devoted to developing a valid measure of the construct. To enhance cycle time theory and the practical implementation of cycle time reduction in procurement processes, a unidimensional cycle time (CT) scale is developed. The scale is based on a national purification sample and an international reliability and validity sample using the strategic business unit as the level of analysis. |
