4. Results

4.1 Structural Equation Modeling

The hypothesized relationships in the model were tested simultaneously through SEM.

The standardized path coefficients of the structural model as estimated by LISREL 8.52 are

given in Table 2. The fit of the model was acceptable (chi-square (219) = 1054.79,

p

= 0.00;

GFI = 0.86; CFI = 0.93; PNFI = 0.80; NNFI = 0.91; RMSEA = 0.08; RMR = 0.08). The chi

square divided by the degree of freedom value was higher than the criterion of 3, and GFI

statistic was below the 0.9 threshold of acceptability. However, other fit indices that adjust

for model complexity and sample size need to be considered. In the above model, NNFI and

CFI were greater than the suggested 0.9. These two fit indices indicate a good fit of SEM

model, especially for a model with such a large number of constructs (Hoyle and Panter,

1995; Morgan and Hunt, 1994; Taylor and Todd, 1995). Actually, the aforementioned model

was actually purified by analyzing the modification indices provided by LISREL software.

By correlating some of the indicator error variances (X1 and X6, X12, and X23) and adding

paths from confidence benefits to social benefits, these changes resulted in a GFI of 0.92 and

a lower chi-square value. However, these additional improvements suggested by the

modification indices were not implemented because of a lack of theoretical support. The

squared multiple correlations (SMCs) for endogenous variables reveal as follows:

co-production = 0.31; special treatment benefits = 0.17; social benefits = 0.28; confidence

benefits = 0.23; share of wallet = 0.37.

4.2 Hypotheses Testing

Hypothesis 1 stated that asset specificity would have a positive effect on co-production.

The effect of asset specificity on co-production was significantly positive (

γ

= 0.279,

p

<

0.05), and therefore, H1 was supported. Hypothesis 2 stated that quality of customer

interaction would have a positive effect on co-production. The effect of quality of customer

interaction on co-production was significantly positive (

γ

= 0.172,

p

< 0.05), and therefore,

H2 was supported. Hypothesis 3 stated that decision-making uncertainty would have a

positive effect on co-production. The effect of decision-making uncertainty on co-production

was significantly positive (

γ

= 0.231,

p

< 0.05), and therefore, H3 was supported.
