Relationship Duration Sample Clauses

Relationship Duration. Time duration is the most crucial variable in the relationships studies as time tested relationships are not less than a valuable asset in dyads. Many researchers suggest that relationship duration is a complex variable to study; nevertheless, close associations may become fruitful over the passage of time (Xxxxx et al., 2008). The relationships are always evolutionary in nature and flourish through time (Xxxxx and Xxxx, 1992; Xxxxxxx, 1994). However, according to Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx (1997), the past relationships are the basic building block for the existing and future relationship norms and relationships and trust need time to grow, therefore we can say that time is absolutely necessary to develop relational norms as length of the relationship time is positively associated with quality of the service and as the time increases the uncertainties decrease (Xxxxx et al., 2008). We have used here the natural logarithm of the relationship duration, which is an increasing function as well as smoothes the effect of changes over the period of time.
