Abstract

This study empirically investigated the direct and indirect effects of inter-organizational relationships control mechanisms (IRCM; prudent partner selection and complex contract) on the decrease of inter-organizational risks (i.e., relational risk and performance risk). The empirical results showed that prudent partner selection has a positive impact on the degrees of inter-organizational cooperation and the levels of inter-organizational information flow. The effects of complex contract on the inter-organizational cooperation and information flow were not significant. In the results of the decrease of inter-organizational risks, it was observed that inter-organizational cooperation has significant positive effects on the decrease of both relational risk and performance risk. It was found that partner selection only influences the decrease of performance risk. The impact of inter-organizational information flow on the decrease of inter-organizational risks was not statistically significant. The indirect effects of IRCM on the decrease of performance risk through inter-organizational cooperation were also empirically demonstrated. The significant impact of inter-organizational cooperation on the decrease of risks implies that high levels of collaborations among employees decrease the risk of opportunistic behavior as well as the possibility of low degrees of performance through cooperative efforts. According to the results of the effects of risks on supply-chain performance, only the impact of performance risk was negatively significant. This result points out that the low levels of performance cause delays in delivery and product launch, deterred production and delayed market response, and these deteriorated managerial activities necessarily decrease the degrees of supply-chain performance.

본 연구는 관계 통제방안인 신중한 파트너 선택과 상세한 계약 체결이 실행 과정에서 조직간 위험을 어떻게 감소시키는지를 실증적으로 규명하였다. 실증분석 결과, 신중한 파트너 선택이 조직간 협력과 조직간 정보교류에 유의한 양의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 상세한 계약 체결은 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 관계 및 성과 위험에 대한 신중한 파트너 선택, 상세한 계약 체결, 조직간 협력과 정보교류가 미치는 영향 분석에서는 조직간 협력이 두 가지 위험 모두에 음의 영향을 미치며, 신중한 파트너 선택은 성과 위험에만 유의적인 음의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 신중한 파트너 선택의 성과 위험에 대한 음의 영향은 다음과 같은 의미를 시사한다. 신중한 파트너 선택은 실행 과정에서 지적 자산을 갖춘 능력 있는 공급 기업을 선정하게 되며, 이러한 공급기업의 능력 자체가 성과 달성에 도움을 준다. 그리고 능력 있는 공급 기업과의 인적 접촉과 상호작용 등은 지식 공유와 학습을 상호간에 유발하며, 이를 통해 목표달성을 위한 다양한 방안들이나 책략이 고안, 개발되어 성과 획득에 도움을 줄 수도 있다. 상세한 계약 체결의 조직간 협력을 통한 성과 위험에 대한 간접 영향은 다음을 의미한다. 계약에 명시됨으로써 달성할 목표가 명확해지고 이는 관련 기업들 간의 공동 달성 노력, 즉, 협력을 촉진하게 된다. 그리고 이러한 공동 달성 노력이 상대방 기업의 성과 미달성 가능성을 낮추어준다는 것이다. 공급망 성과에 대한 조직간 위험의 영향 분석에서는 성과 위험이 유의한 음의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 관계 위험의 음의 영향은 유의적이지 않았다.
