However, the short duration of planning process usually affect the job performance of event professionals or crew members. Objective approaches to time generally consider time as a uniform commodity where people view it much as they do money. The basic contrast between ``objective'' and subjective'' time is that the former is characterized by concrete or measurable quantities of time which people actually have to work with, and the latter is based on people's perceptions of the amounts of time available, relative to the things they have to do (Appelbaum, 2008 and Bauer, 2008). Therefore, it is of the utmost important for event crew members lead by the manager heading the organizer appointed and entrusted by the client to carry out their responsibilities to execute the tasks following up to the event. Event management companies must recognize the importance of time when creating, planning and executing any event.
