中外合资企业企业文化冲突与绩效关系实证研究——基于中国合资企业的数据

Empirical Study on the Relationship between Corporate Cultural Conflicts and Performance in Sino-Chinese Joint Ventures——Based on Data from Sino-Chinese Joint Ventures

在界定企业文化冲突、关系资本和合资企业绩效及其测度指标的基础上,建立中外合资企业企业文化冲突、关系资本和绩效之间关系的理论模型,并提出相关研究假设,然后,对43家中外合资企业中有经验的278名管理人员进行问卷调查,利用结构方程模型对数据进行信度和效度分析,并对中外合资企业企业文化冲突、关系资本与绩效之间的关系进行检验。在此基础上,利用二次回归分析法进一步考察关系资本对企业文化冲突的缓冲效应。结果表明,企业文化冲突与中外合资企业绩效负相关,而关系资本与中外合资企业绩效正相关,并能有效缓解合资企业企业文化冲突对绩效的负面影响。这些研究结果有助于揭示中外合资企业企业文化冲突与绩效之间的动态关系,为中外合资企业跨文化冲突管理提供有益启示。

On the basis of defining corporate cultural conflicts,relational capital and joint venture performance,and their respective indexes as well,this paper first establishes a theoretical relation model of corporate cultural conflict,relational capital and joint venture performance,and then puts forward related hypotheses.Data were gathered to test these hypotheses empirically through a questionnaire survey among 278 managers in 43 selected Sino-foreign joint ventures in China.Then the structural equation model is used to test the reliability and validity of the data and the relationship between corporate cultural conflict,relational capital and joint venture performance,based on which the buffering effect of relational capital on the relationship between corporate cultural conflict and Sino-joint venture performance is further examined through quadratic regression analysis method.Empirical results show that corporate cultural conflicts negatively correlates to Sino-foreign joint venture performance while relational capital is positively related to the latter,and that relational capital can effectively mitigate the negative effect of corporate cultural conflicts on Sino-joint venture performance.These findings contribute to disclosing the dynamic relationship between corporate cultural conflicts and joint venture performance,thus providing useful inspiration for cross-cultural conflict management in Sino-foreign joint ventures.
