摘要
本文以企业财务绩效和运营绩效作为评价供应链绩效的指标,建立组织间依赖和关系治理机制对供应链绩效的效果评估模型,探讨组织间依赖、治理机制与供应链绩效三者之间的作用关系,同时分析机会主义行为在组织间依赖与治理机制相互作用关系中的调节效应。通过对380份问卷进行实证分析发现:组织间依赖、社会控制对财务绩效、运营绩效均有显著正向作用,评估为积极效果;正式控制对财务绩效有显著负向作用,评估为消极效果;正式控制在组织间依赖与社会控制之间起到部分中介作用;机会主义行为在组织间依赖/正式控制对社会控制的作用路径及其中介模型中均存在显著调节效应。该研究结论对社会控制机制在基于组织间依赖和机会主义行为的企业间合作关系治理模式中的相对有效性进行了证实。
By taking enterprises’ financial performance and operational perfor mance as indicators to evaluate supply chain performance, this paper sets up an evaluation model of the effect of inter-organizational dependence and relationship governance mechanism on supply chain performance, with an attempt to investigate the roles of inter-organizational dependence, governance mechanism and performance, and further analyzes the regulatory effect of opportunistic behavior in the relationship between inter-organizational dependence and governance mechanism. Empirical results based on 380 questionnaires show that, 1) inter-organizational dependence and social control have significant positive effect on financial performance and operational performance, the evaluation is positive;2) formal control has significant negative effect on financial performance, the evaluation is negative;3) formal control plays a partial intermediary role between inter-organizational dependence and social control, and opportunistic behavior has significant regulatory effects in the path of inter-organizational dependence/formal control to social control and its intermediary model. Empirical results confirm the relative effectiveness of social control mechanism in the governance model of inter-firm cooperative relationship based on inter-organizational dependence and opportunistic behavior. The following management implications are drawn from the conclusion: 1) in order to achieve the ultimate goal of profitability, enterprises should fully identify and attach importance to inter-organizational dependence, and make good use of this relationship as well, to establish reliable and appropriate governance mechanisms with relying parties or dependent parties;2) social control mechanism based on trust, commitment and so on, may call more attention to enterprises than the contract-based legal safeguard mechanism in China’s business environment, in which "rule by man is greater than rule by law";3) in order to strengthen the relationship between enterprises and partners, an effective social control mechanism should be established, to improve the competitiveness and cohesion of the alliance and to realize the economic benefits of "1+1>2" as well;4) the objective existence of opportunistic behavior makes the enterprises with dependent relationship more inclined to govern the cooperative relationship through the development of social control mechanism. Therefore, supply chain enterprises should pay more attention to and take good advantage of the positive role of inter-organizational dependence in the development of cooperative relations, identify and avoid potential adverse effects of opportunistic behavior, and realize in time the deficiencies of formal control. It is of great significance for enterprises to maintain long-term steadystate relations, by giving full play to the auxiliary role of social control in a timely and effective manner. However, this study still has the following limitations: first, data obtained from questionnaires can’t reflect the dynamic characteristics of inter enterprises’ dependence;Secondly, different objective conditions, such as enterprise size, market background, historical length of relationship, may assume certain impact on the relationship between variables, which are what we should concern in the follow-up study. Finally, there are asymmetries in dependence between organizations, say, advantages and disadvantages of dependence may exist concurrently. Due to the difficulty of obtaining research data, the author didn’t discuss dependency asymmetry in this paper.
