Similar to other systems, the supply chains are also evolving, and old problems are seeking a new outlook. Work passion is an important concept in human resource management literature, but it rarely sought attention in supply chain management literature in the context of suppliers. By building upon some works by Drea Zigarmi on the employee work passion, the current study makes a pioneering attempt in defining supplier work passion and then conceptualizing it through an eight-dimensional construct. Therefore, a novel framework has been constructed. It is argued that a supplier can be an organization, but it behaves like a passionate individual in its dealing with the buyers. The study is of theoretical and practical significance and is likely to create a new debate in the supply chain management on the significance of supplier work passion.
