Abstract
ABSTRACT This study proposes and tests a newly refined model of relationship selling in the context of meeting planners and suppliers in the Meeting, Incentive, Convention, and Exhibition (MICE) industry. Results showed that newly added variables—social bonds with the supplier and meeting planners' attitudinal intention to maintain relationships with the supplier—had significant positive effects on the relationship selling construct; while both willingness and power of the supplier were neither related to meeting planners' perceived trust nor satisfaction. This refined model could provide research insights and guide future research on key relationship selling constructs between meeting planners and suppliers in the MICE industry.
