Social exchange in supply chain relationships: The resulting benefits of procedural and distributive justice
基于290个供应链关系样本，研究发现供应商的程序公正和分配公正政策能提升分销商的长期导向和关系行为，进而减少冲突、增加满意度并改善绩效。
Abstract Social exchange theory is used to model the outcomes of procedural and distributive justice in supply chain relationships. In this study, we examine how the enacted procedural and distributive justice policies of a firm influence its partner's attitudes and behaviors within a sample of 290 supply chain relationships. Findings indicate that the perceived procedural and distributive justice of a supplier's policies enhance the long‐term orientation and relational behaviors of its distributor, which, in turn, are associated with decreased conflict and increased satisfaction, that influence the distributor's performance. The authors discuss the importance of the results for academics and practitioners.
