Members’ attitudes towards cooperatives and their perception of agency problems

Abstract: This study examines whether and how members’ perceptions of agency problems, in terms of the decision problem and the follow-up problem, shape their attitudes to agricultural cooperatives. The study is based on empirical data collected through a postal questionnaire sent to 2,250 Swedish farmers in 2013 (response rate ~40%). Exploratory factor analysis of a set of attitudinal measurement items was used to assess members’ attitudes to agricultural cooperatives. Seemingly unrelated regression analysis was used t… Show more

Como os membros não possuem um contrato formal para comprar, vender e participar da cooperativa, a confiança pode reduzir significativamente os riscos de um comportamento oportunista (Bachmann & Inkpen, 2011;Bhuyan, 2007;Graca & Arnaldo, 2016;Hakelius & Hansson, 2016b;Tadesse & Kassie, 2017) e atuar como como um facilitador das relações (Fischer, 2013). Já os membros comprometidos são menos prováveis de sair da cooperativa ou negociar com outras empresas (Cechin, Bijman, Pascucci, & Omta, 2013).…”
