Abstract

PurposeEven though trust is known for improving supply chain performance (SCP), previous studies have overlooked the investigation of its dimensions. Limited studies exist on the variations of the influence of trust dimensions in agribusiness supply chain relationships. This study examined the influence of trust dimensions on SCP in a developing country's context.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional study design was used to collect from 204 farmers and 192 traders (396 respondents) using a multistage sampling approach. Structural equation modeling was employed to analyze the hypothesized relationships.FindingsPooled sample results show that integrity and competence were the trust dimensions with significant effects on SCP, whereas competence was significant across different supply chains and markets, integrity and benevolence were only significant along fresh chains and in the contract market.Research limitations/implicationsThe extent of application of this study's findings is limited to situations similar to those of tomato and soybeans value chains in developing countries.Originality/valueThe paper contributes to a better understanding of the influence of trust dimensions on SCP across supply chains in different market typologies in agribusiness relationships in a developing country's context.

信任，但信任是什么?调查信任维度对乌干达小农农业企业供应链绩效的影响

尽管信任可以改善供应链绩效(SCP)，但以往的研究忽略了对其维度的调查。关于信任维度对农业综合企业供应链关系影响的变化研究有限。本研究考察了发展中国家情境下信任维度对SCP的影响。设计/方法/方法采用横断面研究设计，采用多阶段抽样方法从204名农民和192名贸易商(396名受访者)中收集数据。采用结构方程模型对假设关系进行分析。结果表明，诚信和能力是影响SCP的信任维度，而能力在不同的供应链和市场中显著，诚信和仁慈仅在新鲜链和合同市场中显著。研究局限/启示本研究结果的应用范围仅限于类似于发展中国家番茄和大豆价值链的情况。本文有助于更好地理解信任维度对发展中国家农业综合企业关系中不同市场类型下跨供应链SCP的影响。
