“…In their seminal work, Morgan and Hunt (1994) also revealed trust to be a significant antecedent of network commitment. As highlighted by Hrebiniak (1974), the rationale for a causal relationship from trust to commitment is straightforward: If any network is characterized by trust, actors are likely to value that network more and commit to it. Otherwise, 'mistrust breeds mistrust' and actors seek out short-term exchange benefits rather than long-term network commitment (McDonald, 1981, p. 834).…”

This paper investigates the role of spirituality in network commitment and trust building through a focus on the specific network context of Anatolian Tigers from Turkey. Despite the previous research employing utilitarian perspectives to explain the antecedents of commitment, the aim here is to understand the role played by spirituality, a higher-order dimension of human life, in commitment at a network level. The study adopts a survey approach. A hundred and twenty questionnaires were conducted through face-to-face meetings with owners/managers of the sample firms. A partial least squares (PLS) path modelling approach is employed to examine relationships through a 'soft-modelling' analysis, using SmartPLS 3. The results empirically confirm that spirituality operates as a significant antecedent of network commitment and trust in the context of networks among Anatolian Tigers. Furthermore, it is found that neither the length of membership nor the firm size has any significant effect on network commitment. The paper contributes to the understanding of antecedents of network commitment by going beyond traditional economic perspectives whose argument, historically, has been that commitment is driven by utilitarian, profit-and utility-maximizing motivations and economic self-interests.

“…The fidelity to the partner (Allen and Meyer, 1990) strengthens by a process of auto-intensification (Amine, 1999in Fullerton, 2003. The commitment can result from various motivations (Gilliland and Bello, 2002;Hrebiniak, 1974;Walsh, 2005;Amine, 1994). It possesses a double nature: emotional and rational (Onkvisit and Shaw, 1987;Beatty, Homer and Kahle, 1988).…”

This study underlines the value of the brand personality and its influence on consumer's decision making, through relational variables. An empirical study, in which 380 participants have received an SMS ad, confirms that brand personality does actually influence brand trust, brand attachment and brand commitment. The levels of brand sensitivity and involvement have also an impact on the brand personality and on its related variables.

“…They also experience social pressure to participate actively in the organization (Hrebiniak, 1974). Prior research demonstrates that employees in jobs with more responsibility spend more time interacting with others, exchanging information, exhibiting initiative, and engaging in innovative or change-oriented behaviors (Scott & Bruce, 1994;Van Dyne et al, 1994;.…”

Political behavior at work often is disparaged as self-serving activity that undermines the efficient pursuit of organizational goals. Yet politics has a more benign meaning as well: responsible participation in decision-making processes, keeping informed, and promoting innovative ideas that serve long-term organizational interests. To date, the negative image of organizational politics among managers and scholars has limited research on the positive contributions of responsible political participation, a form of Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) known as civic virtue.This paper draws on political philosophy and organizational research to consider two forms of civic virtue OCB: gathering information and exercising influence. Both are proactive and can have beneficial results for individuals, organizations, and society. Conceptually, the two forms of civic virtue are related. Yet they also are different. Results of a field study of 245 employees and their supervisors provide support for similarities and differences in the two forms of civic virtue. We discuss theoretical and practical implications of our study, and the benefits of continued research on both aspects of civic virtue OCB.
