Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of the interdependent partnership between liner shipping companies and port-related service firms on the service quality and transaction performance. The empirical analysis found that sharing information and mutual trust of partnership factor positively affected service quality of the port-related service firms, but the communication had negative effects on it. The interdependence had the interaction effect between the partnership and the service quality. Also, the service quality affected satisfaction of transaction and re-purchasing of the shipping companies. This study shows that the partnership to be formed mutual dependent relationship between shipping companies and the port-related firms improve the service quality of shipping service network and enhance transactional satisfaction of both parties.

본 연구는 선사와 항만관련서비스업체간의 파트너십이 항만관련서비스 기업의 서비스 품질과 해운기업의 거래만족 및 재구매의도에 미치는 영향을 실증분석하였으며, 파트너십과 서비스 품질에 대한 상호의존성의 조절효과를 검증하였다. 해운선사와 항만관련서비스업체 사이의 파트너십 결정요인으로 커뮤니케이션, 정보공유, 상호신뢰 3개 요인을 설정하였으며, 항만관련사업체의 서비스품질은 정시성, 전문성, 서비스 가치의 3개 요인으로 확인되었다. 가설검증 결과, 파트너십의 상호신뢰와 정보공유는 서비스품질에 정(+)의 영향을 미치고, 커뮤니케이션은 부(-)의 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 파트너십과 서비스품질 사이에 커뮤니케이션${\times}$상호의존성의 상호작용효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 항만관련서비스 업체의 서비스품질은 해운선사와의 거래만족과 재구매의도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치며, 거래만족이 재구매 의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 항만관련서비스업체의 서비스 품질은 그 창출과정에서 선사와 항만관련 서비스업체간의 긴밀한 상호작용과 협력적 관계에 의해서 그 질적 수준이 결정되므로, 항만관련서비스업체는 해운선사와의 상호이해에 바탕을 둔 활발한 커뮤니케이션과 이에 따른 정보공유 그리고 상호신뢰 관계의 협력적 파트너십을 형성하여야 할 것이다. 이러한 파트너십 구축을 통한 서비스 품질향상을 위한 노력으로 해운선사와 항만관련서비스업체 쌍방이 의존적인 관계에서 상호 win-win할 수 있는 시너지 효과를 창출해 나갈 수 있을 것이다.
