Abstract

This study aims to empirically analyze the structural effects of partnership characteristics between buyers and suppliers on the performance in supply chains. To this end, an in-depth literature review was performed in advance and four partnership characteristics involving information sharing, participativeness, interdependence, solidarity were identified, and a research model was validated by incorporating collaboration, trust, satisfaction. To analyze data collected from 124 companies, structural equation modeling was employed to test hypotheses proposed in this study and the findings are shown as follow. First, the partnership between buyers and suppliers was confirmed to have a positive effect on collaboration, trust and satisfaction. Second, both of trust and satisfaction were found to positively influence collaboration. Third, our findings also validated that collaboration and trust between buyers and suppliers had significant influences on supply chain performance, however, we found no evidence of a statistically significant relationship between satisfaction and performance. Based on these findings, discussions on the implications of this study and suggestions for further research were given finally.

본 연구의 주목적은 공급사슬 내 구매사와 공급사간 파트너십 특성이 협업과 공급사슬 성과에 미치는 구조적 관계를 실증적으로 분석해 보는 것이다. 이를 위해 관련 선행문헌에 대한 종합적인 고찰 결과를 토대로 구매사-공급사간 파트너십 특성으로 정보공유, 참여성, 상호의존성, 결속성 등 총 네 가지 특성요인을 도출하였고, 협업, 신뢰, 만족, 그리고 공급사슬 성과 변수를 포함한 연구모형을 수립하였다. 총 124개 기업으로부터 수집된 자료를 토대로 공분산구조모델 기법을 통해 가설검정을 수행한 결과를 요약해 보면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 구매사-공급사간 파트너십은 협업, 신뢰, 만족에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 둘째, 공급사슬 내 참여기업간 신뢰와 만족은 모두 협업에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 마지막으로, 구매사와 공급사간 협업, 신뢰는 공급사슬 성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 반면 만족은 별다른 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이상의 분석결과를 토대로 시사점과 향후 연구방향을 논하였다.
