We investigate within a meson-exchange model the OZI allowed coupling of the {phi} meson to the nucleon with the inclusion of kaon loops and hyperon excitations. All parameters of the model have previously been determined from a variety of hadronic reactions. A strong cancellation of the various contributions is observed which results in a small {phi}NN coupling. We also show that a realistic isoscalar spectral function including the correlated {pi}{rho} exchange leads to sizeably reduced strange vector form factors based on the dispersion-theoretical analysis of the nucleons' electromagnetic form factors explaining our previous result.
