乡族关系、商人信仰与近代潮汕商帮治理

Rural-clan Relationship,Faith of Merchants and Management Model of Teochew Merchant Organizations in Modern Times

运用激励互补性理论和比较历史制度分析理论,探讨潮汕文化、潮商信仰与潮商治理模式之间的关联与互动。研究认为,受地域文化的影响,潮商采用了基于血缘和地缘的乡族关系治理模式,治理模式与各激励工具之间具有互补性。乡族关系治理模式又内生选择出降低运行成本的地域文化和习俗,进而强化潮商的乡族关系治理模式。一个有效的治理模式应该与其所处的地域文化实现良好耦合,互为补充,从而节约交易费用和治理成本。

By the use of the incentive theory and the theory about the historical and comparative institutional analysis,we discuss the relationship and interaction among Chaoshan culture,faith of Teochew merchants and management model of Teochew merchant organizations.Influenced by regional culture,Teochew merchants adopt the rural-clan relationship management model based on kinship and georelationships.The management model and incentive tools are complementary.The rural-clan relationship management model endogenously selects regional culture and customs that reduce operating costs,thereby strengthening the ruralclan relationship management model of Teochew merchant.This research shows that an effective corporate management model must be well integrated with regional culture,and they must mutually support each other,thereby saving transaction costs and management costs.
