Abstract

In this study, we intended to find out how to improve the relationship performance between a hospital who is a buyer and its suppliers in the medical supply chain. For specific, in control of the transaction period and the number of bed, we investigated the effect of information sharing between a buyer and its suppliers along with the trust for the suppliers' capabilities perceived by the buyer on the buyer's relationship performance. In addition, in control of the transaction period and the number of bed, we also examined the influences of moderating effect of the interactional justice on the relations between information sharing and relationship performance, and between capability-trust and relationship performance. For this, we conducted reliability analysis, exploratory/confirmatory factor analyses, discriminant validity analysis, and moderated multiple regression analysis including control variables. Our results showed that there are positive effects of information sharing between a buyer and suppliers, and the buyer's perceived trust for the suppliers' capability on the relationship performance while controlling the transaction period and the number of bed. Besides, we empirically confirmed that there was the moderating effect of the interactional justice on the relations between capability-trust and relationship performance, whereas we could not find that statistically significant moderating effect of the interactional justice on the relations between information sharing and relationship performance.

본 연구에서는 의료 공급사슬 상에서 구매자에 해당하는 병원과 공급자와의 관계의 성과를 향상시킬 수 있는 방안에 대해 모색하고자 하였다. 보다 구체적으로, 거래기간과 병원의 규모에 해당하는 병상 수가 통제된 상황 하에서 구매자-공급자 간의 정보공유와 구매자가 인식한 공급자의 역량에 대한 신뢰가 구매자의 관계성과에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 아울러, 거래기간과 병상 수가 통제된 상태에서, 상호작용 공정성이 정보공유와 관계성과, 역량신뢰와 관계성과에 미치는 영향력에 대해 조절효과를 가지는지 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 신뢰성 분석, 전체 탐색적 요인분석 및 확인적 요인분석, 판별타당성 분석을 거친 후 통제변수가 포함된 조절적 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 구매자-공급자 간의 정보공유와 구매자가 인식한 공급자의 역량에 대한 신뢰는 모두 구매자의 관계성과에 긍정적인 영향력의 관계가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 아울러, 상호작용 공정성의 조절효과와 관련해서는 정보공유와 관계성과의 관계에서는 상호작용 공정성이 조절효과가 나타나지 않았지만, 역량신뢰와 관계성과의 관계에서는 상호작용 공정성이 조절효과가 있음을 실증적으로 확인할 수 있었다.
