Further elaborates the basic principle of SET with an emphasis on the evolution of relationships over time into trust, loyalty and mutual commitments. To do this without conflict, the parties must respect certain “rules” of exchange. Exchange rules constitute a “normative definition of the situation that arises between or is adopted by participants in an exchange relationship” (Emerson, 1976: 351). In this way, the SET states that exchange rules and norms are “the guidelines” of exchange processes. SET continues to be a theory that over the years has been explored and used by social psychologists, economists and anthropologists to study the interdependence between individuals or organizations. Interdependence requires all parties to put equal effort into the functioning of a process and therefore is inclined to establish itself well in interorganizational relationships. This model was applied by Swedish researchers to study Wikham & Hall in 2012 to understand whether SET positively implied employees' positive response towards the organization and they believed the relationship to be partially true. In the proposed study, the idea is to study this theory both in the perspective of developed and developing countries, where the diversity of individual socioeconomic needs will be studied in a more diversified way and therefore the role of the SET discipline in a organizational whole.
