An Appraisal of Interpersonal and Informational Justice on Strategic Supplier Superior Performance in Power Sector

The rationale for effective inter-organisational buyer-supplier relationship is consistently governed by the extent of its commitment to equitable justice perception, relevant performance metrics and high utilization of sensitive predictors of performance outcomes. Based on the conceptual model from the perspective of system theory, the mediating role of trust, satisfaction and socialization would be examine against the effect of antecedent variable such as interpersonal and informational justice towards achieving superior supplier performance. The expectation is, there would be a greatest impact of informational and interpersonal justice on trust, satisfaction and socialization, with an indirect effect on supplier performance in a long term cooperative relationship. There are extensive study on the buyer-supplier relationship and how the buying firm manages its supplier though, recent researches have articulate the need to investigate the impact of informational and interpersonal justice on behavioural performance because of the little attention paid to it (Celani et al., 2008), and the effect of information on project outcomes (Bendoly & Swink, 2007) on supplier performance via the relevant yet to be examine mediating factors. In this paper we argue that, a relevant specific mutual justice perception is associated with socialization mechanism, trust, and satisfaction and supplier performance. We also explicate the antecedent conditions resulting to eventual superior supplier performance with anecdotal point of reference to our claim.
