The effects of relationship commitment between wedding companies and wedding planers in the wedding industry on relationship performance and relationship continuation intention

The purpose of this study is to establish the relationship between wedding companies and wedding planners and understand the influence of relationship factors on the relationship performance and relationship continuation intention of wedding companies. We conducted an online survey from June to July 2017, and collected 201 responses which were used during analysis. Statistical analysis, including technical statistical analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, and regression analysis, was undertaken using SPSS 23. This study shows that among the relationship factors affecting the wedding planner and the wedding company, the computational tie-up has a significant impact on both the financial and non-financial performance of the wedding company, while emotional tie-ups have a significant impact on the non-financial performance of the wedding company, but not on financial performance. As for the effects of relationship commitment to wedding planners on wedding shops’ relationship continuation intention, each factor for relationship commitment significantly affected wedding shops’ relationship continuation intention. Regarding the effects of wedding shops’ relational performance on relationship continuation intention, each factor of performance significantly affected relationship continuation intention. Therefore, wedding companies should make continuous efforts to maintain this relationship and recognize the need for robust relationships with wedding planners as a sure and important competitive tool for attracting customer and generating revenue.

Alcohol and Drug Abuse Among U.S. Veterans: Comparing Associations With Intimate Partner Substance Abuse and Veteran Psychopathology

This study examined the relative influences of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), other psychopathology, and intimate partner alcohol and drug use on substance-related problems in U.S. veterans (242 couples, N = 484). Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that partner alcohol and drug use severity explained more variance in veteran alcohol use and drug use (20% and 13%, respectively) than did veteran PTSD, adult antisocial behavior, or depression symptoms combined (6% for veteran alcohol use; 7% for veteran drug use). Findings shed new light on the influence of relationship factors on veteran alcohol and drug use and underscore the importance of couples-oriented approaches to treating veterans with comorbid PTSD and substance abuse.

Relationship influencers: determination of affect in the provision of advisory services to SME sector firms

Over the last few years, research on customer behaviour in both industrial markets and service environments has caused some academics to posit that in many situations, the application of traditional transactional marketing concepts is ineffective. Most of the research on identification of factors influencing the supplier‐customer relationship has been concerned with the commercial sector. The aims of this study, therefore, are to determine the influence of relationship factors in the not‐for‐profit sector by examining the situation of advisory assistance offered to small businesses by government‐funded support agencies. Interviews with advisors and owner/managers have been used to construct a qualitative model of factors influencing the client/advisor relationship. The implications of the study are discussed in relation to the future operation of not‐for‐profit support agencies.
