Abstrakt:
In recent years supply chain integration (SCI) has received increasing attention from scholars
and practitioners. However, our knowledge of what influences the supply chain integration
practice of relationship commitment is still very limited. The objective of this study is to
investigate the relationship among supply chain justices (procedural, distributive and interactional),
trust and inter-firms relationship commitment in mainland Pakistan. The research
variables have considerable importance in the literature of supply chain management (SCM).
The conceptual model comprises five hypotheses. Then hypotheses are tested via an empirical
study in which data are collected from 170 manufacturers, distributors, suppliers and retailers
of main stream spectrum industries in Pakistan. We used exploratory factor analysis (EFA),
confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to examine the validity and reliability of the measurement
model, and structural equation modeling (SEM) to test the hypotheses. The findings delineate
that supply chain justices can develop relationship commitment (affective and continuance)
via establishing trust among supply chain partners. Moreover, this study reveals interesting
and useful implications of supply chain justices, trust and relationship commitment for practitioners.
