Economic Satisfaction And Relationship Commitment In Channels: The Moderating Role Of Environmental Uncertainty,Collaborative Communication And Coordination Strategy

Abstract

The paper explores the relationship between economic satisfaction within a relationship and relationship commitment. The moderating effects of three variables are considered: viz. (i) the use of behavior based coordination strategy (ii) the perceived level of environmental uncertainty and (iii) the use of collaborative communication strategy. The hypotheses are proved through a sample survey among 101 channel partners of mobile service providers in a state in India. The results indicate the moderating variables act as quasi moderators where in they both directly and indirectly impact the dependent variable
