契约治理与关系治理的机制构成、驱动逻辑与适配环境——基于家族企业跨代变迁的比较案例研究

The Specific Mechanism,Driving Logic and Suitable Environment of Contractual Governance and Relational Governance——A Case Study of Inter-Generational Change of Governance Models in Family Enterprise

基于两家突发性代际传承的家族企业治理实践,采用跨案例研究方法,探究契约治理与关系治理的机制构成、驱动逻辑与适配环境。研究发现:“监督机制、激励机制、制衡机制”与“信任机制、权威机制、心智模式机制”分别构成了契约治理与关系治理的机制内容;治理模式的驱动逻辑包含系统秩序与目标准则两个层面,契约治理由个体导向与冲突解决运作,集体导向与冲突规避则孕育了关系治理;行为动机、合法性环境与家族理念共同影响着家族企业治理模式的选择。

Based on the governance practices of two family enterprises that underwent sudden inter-generational succession,this study adopts a cross-case study approach to explore the governance model’s specific mechanism,driving logic,and suitable environment.The study shows that,contractual governance includes supervision mechanism,incentive mechanism,and balance mechanism;trust mechanism,authority mechanism,and mental model mechanism constitute relational governance.The driving logic of contractual governance and relational governance are studied at the levels of systemic order and goal criteria,respectively.Specifically,contractual governance is driven by individual orientation and conflict resolution,while relational governance is nurtured by collective orientation and conflict avoidance.Besides,individual motivation,legitimacy environment,and family concept jointly affect the choice of family business governance model.
