Abstract: | This paper aims at examining how relational constructs, e.g. trust, interdependence (henceforth as: i-depd.), commitment (here as: cmt.) etc., impact the buyer's relationship (here as: r-ship) satisfaction (as: s-f.) across the r-ship lifecycle. Based on data collected through mail survey from a sample of 162 Australian buyers, it is found that i-depd. and trust are associated with higher r-ship s-f. in certain phases while cmt. is associated with higher r-ship s-f. in one specified phase. Unexpectedly, co-operative norms are found to drive r-ship s-f. in certain phases. Conflict, however, is not found to affect r-ship s-f. in one specified phase. |
