This research analyzes the effect of dependence, relationship quality, and integration on financial performance based on the resource-dependency theory. A literature review is undertaken to drive the hypotheses and model, while a structural equation model is used to analyze the relationship between the independent variable and dependent variable from survey data from mid and small sized automobile aftermarket companies. The results of this study indicate that independent variables such as dependence and integration each positively influence the financial performance at the 5% significant level, but relationship quality does not affect dependent variables such as integration and financial performance. This study finds that dependence and integration improve financial performance in automobile aftermarket companies The results of this empirical study provide basic guidelines for future strategic planning in any firm’s logistics management. The limitation of this study is that it is only focused on automobile aftermarket companies in single industry. Thus, future research should extend to other industries to determine whether the relationships explored herein still apply.
