“…Although eight studies reported on cross‐national settings (e.g., Kumar et al, 1995; Lund et al, 2013; Muylle & Standaert, 2016; Praxmarer‐Carus et al, 2013; Scheer et al, 2003; Wagner et al, 2011), only three studies (i.e., Kumar et al, 1995; Lund et al, 2013; Scheer et al, 2003) compared results across countries and cultures. The subjective nature of the perception of inter‐organisational (in)justice (Pan et al, 2020) suggests that national cultural values can potentially exert considerable influence on how inter‐organisational (in)justice is perceived and managed in the relationship.…”

“…An increasing body of research unveils that the perception of inter‐organisational justice can significantly contribute to the success of SCRs. It has been documented that inter‐organisational justice not only reduces conflict (Brown et al, 2006) and opportunism (Luo et al, 2015) in the relationship but also enhances relationship quality (Muylle & Standaert, 2016), commitment (Zaefarian et al, 2016), trust (Hofer et al, 2012), satisfaction (Brock et al, 2013), collaboration (Wang et al, 2014) and knowledge sharing (Liu et al, 2012). On the other hand, violation of inter‐organisational justice can be detrimental to SCRs.…”

This paper aims to assess the current status of research on inter‐organisational justice in supply chain relationships (SCRs), analyse its key themes and develop future research directions to advance the knowledge of SCRs. The study employed a rigorous review methodology that combined systematic and snowballing searches. In total, 98 papers published in peer‐reviewed journals between 1983 and 2020 were identified and have been descriptively and thematically analysed. Through synthesising and integrating the extant research, the study develops a taxonomy of types of inter‐organisational justice in SCRs (i.e., relationship overall justice, relationship dimensional‐based justice, event overall justice and event dimensional‐based justice). The review also identifies and discusses three main themes (and subthemes) of the existing research, including antecedents (i.e., governance mechanism, governance design, breach of contract and relationship power), outcomes (i.e., attitudinal, behavioural and performance) and boundary conditions (i.e., relationship and environmental) of inter‐organisational justice in SCRs. The study concludes by identifying current gaps and suggesting important research directions for further work.

The effect of public investor activism on trust: A case study in the asset management sector

Orientation: Compromised global trust levels appears to be one of the lasting legacies of the 2007 financial crisis, also in the financial services industry. In order to rebuilt trust, it is not only important to identify the drivers of trust, but also to assess the contexts within which trust is cultivated. Research purpose:The researchers investigated the impact that this announcement and a subsequent apology by Futuregrowth's chief investment officer (CIO) had on trust in the asset management sector.Motivation for the study: Trust could be compromised when investors publicly engage with investee companies on contentious issues. As most investor activism in South Africa takes place in private, a unique research opportunity presented itself when Futuregrowth Asset Management publicly announced that they would suspend their funding to six state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Futuregrowth is the biggest private fixed-income asset manager in Africa and is renowned as a responsible investor.Research approach/design and method: Content analysis was performed on 31 articles published in financial newspapers and magazines. In addition, semi-structured personal interviews were conducted with the CIO of Futuregrowth, another member of his team and six prominent local asset managers. Main findings:The findings suggest that asset managers who wish to engage with investee companies in South Africa, especially SOEs, should preferably do so in private as a first recourse. When they do decide to speak out in public, they should focus on maintaining both calculative and affective trust. Failure to recognise the importance of affective trust, especially during periods of socio-political and economic uncertainty, could jeopardise trust in the asset management sector. Practical/managerial implications:The evidence suggests that affective trust is increasingly important in the chosen sector. Asset managers should no longer only focus exclusively on credibility, reliability and competence but should also give due consideration to the affective trust elements of integrity and fairness. Contribution/value-add:The findings are particularly pertinent in countries with small stock exchanges and high degrees of director interlocking. The research methodology adopted in this study represents a novel contribution to research in the asset management field.

“…Although the first-mentioned benefit, financial savings, is reflected only on the side of clients, increased transparency makes e-RA desirable for contractors as well. Muylle and Standaert [15] revealed that use of procedural fairness in e-RA is positively related to relationship quality. Financial savings can be expected if a sufficient level of competition exists in the tender [16].…”

The requirement for efficient public spending leads contracting authorities to use electronic reverse auctions (e-RA), a tool that allows achieving financial savings. In this study, we aim to explore the relationships between the different acting e-RA variables and to check for predictive models in order to infer on the savings amount in construction public procurement. Data on real construction auctions in Slovakia were statistically analysed by means of graphics tools, multiple regression analysis, test, and statistics for measuring the association between categorical variables. The results revealed that one should take the type of contract into account when considering the use of e-RA. This research provides several implications for purchasing practitioners in the area of construction procurement, especially with regard to the level of competition in the auction and estimation of savings potential. Presented findings aid managerial decision-making process of e-RA adoption. At the end, recommended future research directions in the investigated area are outlined.
