尽管在研究契约-信任关系方面有着丰富的传统,但这两种治理模式之间的相互关系仍然模棱两可。采用双重功能和关系阶段偶发契约的观点,我们理论认为,在关系生命周期中,企业对契约主要功能的认知是不同的,这导致了关系阶段偶发契约-信任关系。我们使用从供应商-零售商二元组收集的数据来检验我们的假设,使用准纵向分析。研究结果表明,在探索阶段,由于保障功能的显著负面作用,契约替代了商誉信任;而在扩展阶段,由于协调功能的积极作用占主导地位,契约对商誉信任起到补充作用。在成熟期,由于这两种功能对商誉信任的影响都很显著,且两者都不是主导作用,因此契约对商誉信任的净影响变得不显著。总体而言,我们对合同在整个关系生命周期中何时以及如何补充或取代商誉信任提供了新的见解。
Despite a rich tradition in studying contract-trust nexus, the mutual relationship between these two modes of governance remains equivocal. Adopting a dual-functional and relationship-phase-contingent view of contracts, we theorize that firms' perception of the chief function of contracts varies throughout the relationship life cycle, which results in a relationship-phase-contingent contract-trust nexus. We tested our hypotheses with data collected from the supplier-retailer dyads using quasi-longitudinal analysis. The results indicate that contracts substitute goodwill trust in the exploration phase because of the significantly negative effect of the safeguarding function, whereas in the expansion phase, contracts complement goodwill trust because the positive effect of the coordination function dominates. In the maturity phase, because the effects of the two functions on goodwill trust are both significant, with neither of them dominating the total effect, the net effect of contracts on goodwill trust becomes insignificant. Overall, we provide new insights into when and how contracts complement or substitute goodwill trust throughout the relationship life cycle.
