联盟共同信任、信任差异与研发联盟绩效风险——基于社会资本理论视角

Alliance Mutual Trust,Trust Differential and R&D Alliance Performance Risk——A Social Capital Perspective

基于国内汽车行业的纵向研发联盟企业数据,构建并验证了联盟共同信任对于联盟绩效风险的作用机理,揭示了联盟组织间的信任差异对于联盟信任与联盟绩效风险关系的调节效应。实证发现,联盟共同信任对于研发联盟绩效风险具有显著负向影响;联盟组织之间的信任差异对于研发联盟绩效风险具有显著正向影响;联盟组织之间的信任差异对于研发联盟共同信任与联盟绩效风险之间的关系具有显著负向调节效应,联盟组织之间的信任差异越小,联盟共同信任对于研发联盟绩效风险的负向影响就越大;联盟组织之间的信任差异越大,信任对于研发联盟绩效风险的负向影响就越小。

Data obtained from vertical R＆D alliances in Chinese automotive industry, alliance performance risk was found to be strongly influenced by alliance mutual trust as moderated by trust differential. The results revealed that.. Mutual trust has a significant negative effect on performance risk in an R＆D alliance, trust differential between alliance partners has a significant positive effect on performance risk in an R＆D alliance, and trust differential between the partners negatively moderates the relationship between trust and alliance performance risk. The smaller the trust differential, the more likely there is a significant and negative relationship between the trust and alliance performance risk. Finally, we offer brief comments on managerial implications.
