- Abstract
- An important question for manufacturers is the extent to which
control over the suppliers should be maintained when the interaction
occurs in an uncertain environment. It is proposed in this paper that
the level of trust(high and low) affect the manufacturers level of
monitoring and perceived supplier performance in uncertain
environments. The empirical results from US manufacturers indicate
the following: 1) When the trustworthiness of exchange partners is
questionable, manufacturers tend to increase the level of monitoring
over the supplier as they feel environmental uncertainty. On the other
hand, those who place a high level of trust in a partner may need to rely
on monitoring to a lesser extent regardless of environmental
uncertainty. 2) Supplier performance, as perceived by manufacturers, is
negatively associated with environmental uncertainty when a
manufacturers trust in its supplier is low, but it has no relationship
with environmental uncertainty when there is high trust.
