| Tiivistelmä: | This study examines the interaction btw. trust (here as: tr.), social control (as: s-c.), output control (as: o-c.), and perceived performance (as: p-p.) for the relationship of pharmacies with their primary drug wholesalers, where both parties are SMEs. A model generated through qualitative analysis is tested using survey data from 360 Turkish pharmacies. There is suggested a positive association btw. tr. and s-c. and a negative association btw. tr. and o-c., in addition to a substitutive relationship btw. tr. and o-c. regarding p-p. A positive association is found btw. s-c. and p-p. Yet, output control seems to have no effect on the latter. Finally, o-c. and s-c. are negatively associated with each other, having a substitutive relationship while predicting p-p. With the focus on small businesses in a service industry, the study contributes to the general debates on the interrelationships of tr., control, and p-p. |
