Abstract

Given that the cooperative model cannot be reduced to only market relations but is also based on social interactions, this paper deals with the complexity of the link between agricultural cooperatives and their members showing the mediation role played by organizational commitment in the relation between trust and loyalty behaviors. It presents the theoretical fundamentals of our hypothetical model and then tests this model on a sample of 264 members of cooperatives in the cereal sector.
