1 A Re-Examination of the Commitment-Trust Theory A RE-EXAMINATION OF THE COMMITMENT-TRUST THEORY Stavros P. Kalafatis Kingston Business School United Kingdom Hamish Miller IMS International United Kingdom ABSTRACT This paper reports on the results of a replication study of the -trust model proposed by Morgan and Hunt (1994). The research has applied the model in a health care environment and attempted to test the generalisability of the model and the stability of the hypothesised paths between the constructs and variables involved. Although the results have provided some support as to the stability of the model they have also indicated the need to, (a) develop more robust measurement scales, (b) test for different conceptualisations of the relationships (i.e. as the original authors stated the evaluation of alternative or extended model specifications), (c) examine the behaviour of its variables and constructs under differing market conditions and for different subpopulations, and (d) investigate the impact of market structures, e.g. number of competitors, on the hypothesised effects of the variables and constructs. 12th IMP Conference 399
2 Stavros P. Kalafatis Hamish Miller INTRODUCTION Over the past 10 or so years there has been clear evidence to suggest that, in business marketing, the nature of buyer-seller interactions has changed from, adversarial to relationship building, and consequently emphasis has moved away from discrete transactions and towards relational exchanges. At the same time, as Nevin (1995) points out, in recent years, the term relationship marketing has become a 'popular buzzword in both the academic and business press'. His review of the relevant literature indicates that the concept has been used to reflect different perspectives such as directing the flow of promotional efforts towards individuals targeted through database analysis, treating each customer as a segment of one, keeping in touch with customers after a sale has been completed etc. The emergence of relationship marketing (RM) as a driving force in business exchanges, and marketing literature in general, is clearly demonstrated by the fact that a number of authors view this concept as representing a 'fundamental reshaping of the field' (Webster, 1992) which has led towards a genuine paradigm shift in marketing (Gronroos, 1994; Piercy & Cravens, 1995). The increased attention paid to relationship forming factors is further highlighted by the fact that since Dwyer et al. (1987) stated that 'The lack of attention to antecedent conditions and processes for buyer-seller exchange relationships is a serious omission in the development of marketing knowledge' a number of studies have been published which have attempted to define the variables that influence success or failure in business relationships (see among others, Metcalf et al., 1992; Gronroos, 1995; Boyle et al., 1992; Ganesan, 1993 & 1994; Grundlack & Cadotte, 1994; Heide & John, 1990 & 1992; Norris & McNeilly, 1995; Robicheaux & Coleman, 1994). This paper does not attempt to provide a review of the relevant literature. The interested reader is directed to a number of publications that offer excellent overviews on the topic of RM and its implications in terms of buyer-seller relationships, 400 University of Karlsruhe
3 A Re-Examination of the Commitment-Trust Theory development and management of channels of distribution, formation of strategic alliances etc. (see among others Ford, 1990; Special Issue of the Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, 1995; European Journal of Marketing, 1996). Instead we provide an empirical examination of trust and as mediating variables in RM. Commitment has long been established as an important element in the understanding of organisational buying behaviour and as Ford (1990) states, together with adaptation and conflict, form a central part of the IMP model. A relatively recent formal definition of is provided by Moorman et ol. (1992) who state that represents 'an enduring desire to maintain a valued relationship', something that Morgan and Hunt (1994) argue is sustained though the continuity of shared values. Trust is viewed by Rotter (1967) as a generalised expectation and is defined as 'a willingness to rely on an exchange partner in whom one has confidence' (Moorman et al, 1992). As a consequence it conveys a confidence in interpersonal or inter-organisational behaviour (Gundlach & Murphy, 1993) and is determined by the level of responsibility and. Research interest in trust and is growing and these two variables have been found to be relevant in such a diverse range of business activities as organisational buying behaviour (Ford, 1990), dissemination of market intelligence (Matlz & Kohli, 1996; Moorman, 1995), employee performance (Ghoshal & Bartlett, 1995), channel conflict (Kumar et al, 1995; Mohr & Spekman, 1994), interpersonal cooperation and team building (Korsgaard et al, 1995; McAllister, 1995), business ethics (Hosmer, 1994), international trade (Yamagishi & Yamagishi, 1994) etc. RESEARCH FRAMEWORK, AIM AND OBJECTIVES The -trust model proposed by Morgan and Hunt (1994) provides the framework of the research presented here. 12th IMP Conference 401
4 Stavros P. Kalafatis Hamish Miller In their paper they posit that, in RM, relationship and trust are mediating variables which link five antecedents (i.e. ' termination costs', ' benefits', 'Shared values', 'Communications' and 'Opportunistic behaviour') and five outcomes (i.e. 'Acquiescence', 'Propensity to leave', 'Cooperation', 'Functional conflict', and 'Uncertainty'). The model, its hypothesised paths and the respective sign of the relationships are presented in Figure 1 and following the notation of the authors it is referred to as the KMV (key mediating variable) model in the remainder of this paper. The KMV model was tested in the US car tire retailer sector. The solution was found to have a satisfactory fit and the results provided support for twelve of the thirteen hypothesised paths and their signs (the only one not supported was between ' benefits' and 'Commitment'). Therefore, and following examination of the KMV against a competing model, Morgan and Hunt (1994) conclude that 'These findings imply that relationship and trust are not only important variables in marketing relationships,... but also are key mediating variables in these relationships'. Figure 1: The KMV model 402 University of Karlsruhe
5 A Re-Examination of the Commitment-Trust Theory The main aim of the research presented here has been to test the generalisability of the KMV model. More specifically, the objectives are: a) to test the importance of and trust in the formulation of buyer-seller relationships within the UK health care sector, b) to develop and adapt the key mediating variables of the KMV model, and c) to identify and justify possible modifications to the KMV model. METHODOLOGY The research was carried out in the health care sector, and specifically the market for the provision of care for diabetes within the UK. The target population was defined as 'All health care professionals who were involved in the purchasing of products pertaining to the treatment and management of diabetes within the UK'. This broad definition includes most of the UK hospitals and encompass doctors, nurses and pharmacists. The rationale for applying the KMV model to this sector is based on: a) The belief that the two main variables, i.e. and trust, are necessary in the successful marketing of health care products. For a health care professional to use a company's product(s) they must have considerable trust to the sales representative of the company and they must be convinced of the company's long term to the sector. b) The health care sector represents a sufficiently different environment from the one in which the model was original tested and consequently offers the potential for testing the generalisability of the KMV model. 12th IMP Conference 403
6 Stavros P. Kalafatis Hamish Miller The sample was drawn, using proportional stratification, from two sources, (a) the British Diabetic Association and Royal College of Nursing Directory, and (b) the Becton Dickinson file (the file contains the names of doctors with an interest in diabetes and pharmacists responsible for purchasing products related to the management of diabetes). Although the authors of the original paper made the model measures available to us it was, nevertheless, decided to carry out a small number of in-depth interviews with health care professionals in order to, (a) obtain some initial feedback on the concept of relationships between buyers and sellers in their sector, and (b) to make any necessary changes in terms of terminology, contents etc. in the measures of the KMV model. As in the original study a seven point Likert scale was used. Given the wide dispersion of the target population it was decided to use a self-administered postal questionnaire for the collection of the data and the Total Design Method proposed by Dillman (1978) was adopted. In total, 850 questionnaires were mailed out and 208 completed and usable questionnaires were received. Given the target population and the known problems associated with researching the medical professions the resulting response rate of 24.5% as considered to be satisfactory. The usual tests of non-response error (i.e. limited follow-ups, comparison of early and late responses etc.) were carried out and we were satisfied as to the representativeness of our sample. RESULTS Reliability and Validity of Constructs Before evaluating the overall model the measurements of each of the reflective constructs were assessed for unidimensionality. Table 1 presents the characteristics of the constructs, the number of items contained in each scale as proposed in the 404 University of Karlsruhe
7 A Re-Examination of the Commitment-Trust Theory Morgan and Hunt (1994) paper and the number of items employed in the present study. The original scales were revised in order to, (a) make them more relevant to the sector under examination, and (b) reflect the results of the reliability analysis carried out. The findings indicate that the reflective scales posses considerable internal consistency (Cronbach's oc for the constructs were higher than the widely employed threshold of.70 - Churchill, 1979). The validity and reliability of the constructs is also reaffirmed (the estimates, using confirmatory factor analysis, for both reliability and variance extracted exceed their respective recommended levels of 0.70 and Hair et al, 1995). We can therefore, conclude that the results support the proposed structure of the constructs employed.

8 Stavros P. Kalafatis Hamish Miller Testing the KMV Model Overall, the analytical approach followed was very similar to the one adopted by Morgan and Hunt (1994). In particular: a) the covariance matrix was analysed using LISREL VII, b) each single-indicant loading of the formative scales was fixed at.950, c) the reflective measures were fixed to their corresponding coefficient alpha values, and d) the exogenous constructs were allowed to correlate (i.e. the O matrix was freed). The results presented in Table 2 indicate, (a) satisfactory fit to the data (GFI =.881 and RMSV =.094), and (b) at cc=.05 provide support for eight of the thirteen hypothesised paths. Looking at the focal elements of the model the following conclusions can be drawn: Antecedents to ' ' and 'Trust': ' benefits', 'Shared values' and 'Trust' were the antecedent of ' ' that are supported by the results. As for 'Trust', the paths supported are 'Shared values' and 'Opportunistic behaviour'. Consequences /outcomes of ' ' and 'Trust': All the hypothesised consequences of the ' ' are supported, while none no hypothesised consequences associated with 'Trust' are supported. 406 University of Karlsruhe

10 Stavros P. Kalafatis Hamish Miller The significance of the correlations between the exogenous constructs is presented in Table 3. The results provide considerable evidence of shared influence of the exogenous constructs on the endogenous constructs. It is indicated that with the exception of 'Communications' there is significant correlation between all other pairs of exogenous constructs. The above, when considered in combination with the results presented in Table 2, raise some interesting issues for two of the exogenous constructs: a) 'Communications': This construct does not appear to contribute in any substantive way to the development of trust and. It is believed that, given the sector under examination - the products involved were prescription only products - this is not surprising/unexpected. In this sector, the provision of information by itself is perceived as an inappropriate way of communicating, instead informal communications between the manufactures and health care professionals and views of opinion leaders represent the main flow of information. b) ' Terminating Costs': Although the path of this construct, as hypothesised in the KMV model, is not supported it has, nevertheless been found to be significantly correlated to all other exogenous constructs. The explanation can be found in Morgan and Hunt's (1994) paper where they state that '.. could explore types of termination costs other than the economic costs studied here'. It is believed that, for the sector under examination, despite the recent restructuring of the British health case system, financial considerations have secondary importance to performance and conformity to standards. 408 University of Karlsruhe

The need to examine the effects of antecedents on consequences/outcomes is also stated in the original Morgan and Hunt (1994) paper. Indirect effects: The results presented in Table 4 provide support for, (a) only four of the twenty one indirect effects that were found to be significant in the original paper, and (b) four of the eight significant direct effects of the rival model specified by Morgan and Hunt (1994). The influence of the ' benefits' construct is further highlighted by the fact that it exhibits a significant modification index with all five consequences/outcomes. The 'centrality' of this concept is believed to reflect the importance of the products under consideration in terms of the patients' overall well being, i.e. 12th IMP Conference 409
12 Stavros P. Kalafatis Hamish Miller high level of product performance is required in order to ensure correct/appropriate diagnosis and subsequent treatment. Within the context of the present study ' benefit' is believed to reflect, (a) the respondents' desire to provide the best possible clinical care, and (b) the severity of incorrect decisions or actions taken. In other words, the relationship between manufacturers and health care professionals reflects a common, overriding, aim which is to provide high quality care. This is believed to manifest itself in a relationship structure in which Trust' is superseded by the importance of ' benefits'. 410 University of Karlsruhe

Of particular interest are 12th IMP Conference 411
14 Stavros P. Kalafatis Hamish Miller 'Cooperation' (exhibits reciprocal causality with five of the six endogenous constructs) and, to a lesser extent, 'Acquiescence' and 'Functional conflict' (both exhibit reciprocal causality with four endogenous constructs). The continuous evaluation (in the form of clinical trials), modification and adaptation of products as well as efforts by the manufacturers to encourage use of their products is seen as resulting in increased levels of 'Cooperation'. The same explanation is offered in terms of 'Functional conflict' and 'Acquiescence', i.e. continuous product adaptation, based on feedback obtained from health care professionals, results in an evolving process of product improvement which in turn reduces hostility and disagreements and ensures that the views of both parties receive due consideration. CONCLUSIONS We feel that the results reported here provide partial support to the overall stability of the KMV model and offer some evidence as to its generalisability. The GFI measures of fit are very similar between the two studies and the directions of the causal relationships appear to be stable. Certain indirect paths identified by the original study, e.g. ' terminating costs' and 'Acquiescence', 'Opportunistic behaviour' and 'Propensity to leave' have also been confirmed. The position of 'Commitment' and 'Trust' as 'key mediating variables' appears, on the whole, to be justified and the hypothesis and the structural relationship between Trust' and 'Commitment' is supported. Furthermore, the two main suggestions for further research expressed in the original paper have been found to apply. 412 University of Karlsruhe

16 Stavros P. Kalafatis Hamish Miller More specifically, the findings presented here have highlighted the need for, 1. alternative approaches to construct measurement has been highlighted. The call for a more thorough examination of some of the scales, e.g. ' terminating costs', 'Communications' etc. is supported. 2. the redefinition and further development of the KMV model, through the closer examination of: i) the direct effects (for example, the lack of support for the 'Trust'-^'Uncertainty' path can easily be explained by the fact that in the health case sector unless a product has officially been approved cannot be used or prescribed, consequently uncertainty in terms of product performance does not exist), ii) indirect effects (for example, see comments on the link between ' benefits' and 'Cooperation'), and iii)the inter-construct relationships (see debate on reciprocal causality), appears to offer an avenue for a better conceptualisation of the roles that and trust play in RM. At the same time the present research has identified the following issues that either need to be addressed or may have confounded the reported results: 1. Construct relationships may depend on the sector under investigation, in which case the generalisability of the model is in question. 2. The aggregation of respondents, i.e. examination of the combined views of health care professionals with differing responsibilities, seniority etc., may have distorted the results. 414 University of Karlsruhe
