The Role of Perceived Control in Co-Production
Co-production refers to consumers’ involvement in producing and delivering a product/service. This paper examines the role of perceived control in co-production and its effect on consumers’ evaluations of products/services. Most of the past studies have viewed perceived control as a unidimensional construct and have emphasized its positive implications. Drawing from social psychology literature, a conceptual model is developed that depicts how different types of perceived control affect psychological responses (e.g., satisfaction) to co-production differently and how perceived control leads to both positive and negative outcomes for co-producers. Implications for encouraging consumers to co-produce are discussed.
