In this chapter, literature is critically reviewed in both the areas of relationship marketing and organisational behaviour by examining the latest state of knowledge, attempting to make an original contribution. Gaps in the literature were searched in the area in order to synthesise a research topic that offers a contribution to both theory development and the marketplace. The review focused on conducting evaluation by discussing concepts, comparing relationships and results among many conceptual and empirical studies in various research settings (Saunders, Lewis and Thornhill 2003).
Relevant theories, concepts and arguments were reviewed in selective and critical manners structured in a way corresponding to the research objectives that have been set for this study. The review explained how the research model was developed whereby main concepts in the proposed theoretical model were introduced and then discussed according to empirical and conceptual previous works in the relevant research areas, presenting the hypotheses eventually. The review benefited from studies addressing the broad concept of relationship marketing and the development process of customer-firm relationship that based on an exchange mechanism. The review also benefited from works on commitment theory from the organisational behaviour literature.
