Abstract
This study proposes a research model to address the causal relationships among regime intervention, supplier hoarding intention and its antecedents in a post-disaster grain supply chain. We argue that the regime intervention can moderate the relationship among supplier hoarding intention, supplier's belief of future earnings, and supplier's attitude towards risk reduction of disruption after a disaster. Using data acquired from questionnaires, this study applies structural equation modeling (SEM) to test the research model. Our findings show that regime intervention mitigates the positive effect of supplier belief in future earnings on supplier hoarding intention. Also, regime intervention increases the negative effect of supplier attitude towards risk reduction of disruption after a disaster on supplier hoarding intention. Finally, we discuss the findings and the practical implications for disruption of the grain supply chain.
