Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study was to establish the cause-effect relationship between determinants of trust in the buyer–supplier integration and the procurement performance of large manufacturing firms in Tanzania. Design/methodology/approach The study surveyed 52 firms from Temeke Municipality, Tanzania using questionnaire subjected to one procurement manager and one stores manager tallying a sample size of 104 respondents. Explanatory design was employed due to the presence of cause–effect relationship and the null hypotheses were tested using binary logistic regression technique at p values < 0.05 and ExpB > 1. Findings Mutual goals, geographical vicinity among partners, and supplier reliability are significant for the procurement performance of the manufacturing firms in Tanzania, whereas interpersonal and inter-organizational trusts and perceived buyers’ confidence are of no significant impact. Research limitations/implications Buyer–supplier integration is a recently embraced and paramount practice for the manufacturing firms in Tanzania. Therefore, longitudinal study would further add value. The presence of the causality from the tested hypothesis appeals for the necessity of progress tracking. Practical implications Causality has been established, and a framework has been developed for the performance of large manufacturing firms using trust of buyer–supplier integration. Social implications There shall be creation of more employment opportunities and timely availability of materials from large manufacturing firms in Tanzania. Originality/value Anchored on transaction cost economics and resource dependency theories, the study disclosed the root cause of procurement performance in the context of manufacturing firms in Tanzania whilst considering trust as a resource advantage of buyer–supplier integration.

坦桑尼亚大型制造企业采购-供应商整合信任对采购绩效的因果关系
本研究的目的是建立坦桑尼亚大型制造企业采购绩效与买方-供应商整合信任决定因素之间的因果关系。设计/方法/方法本研究对来自坦桑尼亚Temeke市的52家公司进行了调查,调查问卷由一名采购经理和一名商店经理提供,总共有104名受访者。由于存在因果关系,采用解释设计,在p值< 0.05和ExpB > 1下,采用二元logistic回归技术检验原假设。发现共同目标、合作伙伴之间的地理邻近性和供应商可靠性对坦桑尼亚制造企业的采购绩效有显著影响,而人际信任和组织间信任和感知买家信心对采购绩效无显著影响。研究限制/影响买方-供应商整合是最近在坦桑尼亚的制造企业接受和最重要的做法。因此,纵向研究将进一步增加价值。经过检验的假设中存在因果关系,因此有必要进行进度跟踪。本文建立了大型制造企业绩效的因果关系,并利用买方-供应商集成的信任建立了大型制造企业绩效的框架。社会影响将创造更多的就业机会,并及时从坦桑尼亚的大型制造公司获得材料。原创性/价值本研究以交易成本经济学和资源依赖理论为基础,揭示了坦桑尼亚制造企业采购绩效的根本原因,同时将信任视为买方-供应商整合的资源优势。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Global Operations and Strategic Sourcing aims to foster and lead the international debate on global operations and strategic sourcing. It provides a central, authoritative and independent forum for the critical evaluation and dissemination of research and development, applications, processes and current practices relating to sourcing strategically for products, services, competences and resources on a global scale and to designing, implementing and managing the resulting global operations. Journal of Global Operations and Strategic Sourcing places a strong emphasis on applied research with relevant implications for both knowledge and practice. Also, the journal aims to facilitate the exchange of ideas and opinions on research projects and issues. As such, on top of a standard section publishing scientific articles, there will be two additional sections: "The Industry ViewPoint": in this section, industrial practitioners from around the world will be invited (max 2 contributions per issue) to present their point of view on a relevant subject area. This is intended to give the journal not just an academic focus, but a practical focus as well. In this way, we intend to reflect a trend that has characterised the past few decades, where interests and initiatives in research, academia and industry have been more and more converging to the point of collaborative relationships being a common practice. "Research Updates - Executive Summaries". In this section, researchers around the world will be given the opportunity to present their research projects in the area of global sourcing and outsourcing by means of an executive summary of their project. This will increase awareness of the on-going research projects in the area and it will attract interest from industry.
