Growth in the outsourcing market signals that firms of all sizes believe outsourcing will ultimately deliver many benefits and conveniences. But there are not many firms satisfied with the results of outsourcing. What is more, previous researches were fragmentary analyses focused on specific variables of outsourcing such as sourcing decisions, partnership rather than comprehensive analysis. Thus, they could not propose general systematic methodologies applicable to the real situation. To solve these problems, we developed an integrated theoretical framework that considered both contract with the hard side and trust with the soft side from a contingency viewpoint and tested this model using 143 data of Korean companies executing outsourcing. In addition, we examined how situational factors(outsourcing task complexity and outsourcing management competence) affects each path in the research model. The results of this study are as follows. First, it was proved the theory that trust is not a substitute for contract but its complement. Previous empirical studies on outsourcing success factors were focused on the establishment of successful partnership on the assumption that trust can replace contract in many situations. According to the results of our empirical analysis, however, contract and trust were in a mutually complementary relation with each other and their emphasis was different. Furthermore, different from previous researches, it was found effective to use trust as a supplementary tool and contract as a main means in outsourcing management strategy. Second, this study provided an integrated view that sees both contract and trust from a contingency viewpoint in theoretically reestablishing the relationship between contract and trust. Previous researches leaned to specific variables or theory-centered fragmentary analysis, but this study proposed a more practical and integrated research model and tested its effectiveness. Based on the results, with the model, decision makers are expected to scrutinize outsourcing situation more closely and to have a practical insight to the situation. Third, it was found that contract mechanism and trust building do not have a direct effect on outsourcing performance but relationship management intensity mediates the effect of contract mechanism and trust building. This is considered significantly meaningful to outsourcing partners who have believed that outsourcing would be successful if a contract is made properly or trust is built. Lastly, the path from trust building to relationship management intensity was moderated by informed buying, as the path coefficients from trust building to relationship management intensity varied by the degree of informed buying competence.

In recent years, increasing attention has been paid on how to manage a successful relationships between the receiver and provider of the Information Systems(IS) outsourcing services. This study explores the sources of influence for successful outsourcing relationships. Based on the Jaworski's control combination model for marketing, we (1) propose a management combination model of outsourcing relationships where trust is introduced as an intervening variable and outsourcing compleyity as a moderating variable, (2) test this model using a sample of 94 outsourcing projects in 36 organizations that have outsourced there IS functions to external service providers. The results indicated several significant findings. First, the deployment of management mechanism such as contract mechanism and trust building has a significant effect on the outsourcing success through trust only. Second, complexity of outsourcing activities has a moderating effect on relationship management combinations.

본 연구는 유통경로 상에서 서비스기업의 공급업체에 대한 신뢰 및 충성도 구축과정에서 공급업체의 유대관계전략과 서비스기업의 점포 운영기간 사이에 상호작용효과를 실증적으로 분석하였다. 실증을 위해 한국동물병원협회 소속의 214개 동물병원을 표본으로 하여 설문을 수집한 후, 구조방정식 모델을 활용하여 가설을 검증하였다. 실증분석의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 유통경로 구성원인 공급업체의 서비스기업에 대한 유대관계 전략에 따라 서비스기업이 구축하고자하는 신뢰의 유형에 대해 서로 다른 영향을 주는 것을 확인하였다. 즉, 공급업체의 사회적 유대전략은 서비스기업의 두 가지 유형의 감정적 신뢰 및 인지적 신뢰구축에 모두 영향을 주지만, 구조적 유대전략은 서비스기업의 감정적 신뢰에 영향을 주지만 인지적 신뢰에는 영향을 주지 않았다. 둘째, 공급업체의 사회적 유대전략은 서비스기업의 공급업체에 대한 충성도 구축에 직접적인 영향을 미치지만, 구조적 유대는 충성도 구축에 직접적으로 영향을 미치지 않고 감정적인 신뢰를 통하여 영향을 미쳤다. 셋째, 서비스기업의 감정적 신뢰는 그들의 공급업체에 대한 충성도 구축에 직접적인 영향을 주지만, 서비스기업의 인지적 신뢰는 공급업체에 대한 충성도 구축에 직접적인 영향을 주지 않고 감정적 신뢰를 통하여 형성되었다. 넷째, 서비스기업의 점포 운영기간이 길수록 공급업체는 사회적 유대를 활용하여 서비스기업의 신뢰 및 충성도를 직접적으로 구축하나, 점포 운영기간이 짧을수록 사회적 유대 및 구조적 유대를 부분적으로 활용하여 신뢰를 먼저 구축하고 그런 다음 충성도를 간접적으로 구축하였다. 따라서 유통경로 구성원들 사이에 서비스기업이 그들의 사업파트너인 공급업체에 대한 신뢰의 유형 및 충성도를 구축하기 위해서 서로 다른 유대관계 전략을 활용하며, 공급업체는 서비스 기업의 점포 운영기간에 따라 공급업체에 대한 서비스기업의 신뢰 및 충성도를 구축하는 과정에서 해당점포의 운영기간에 대한 상호작용효과를 고려할 필요가 있다. 마지막으로 연구의 시사점, 한계점 그리고 향후 연구방향에 대해 논의하였다.

Purpose - The aim of this study is to investigate the benefit-sharing activities. They affect contract renewal intention between franchisers and franchisees that are linked through a contract with the intention of building their relationship from the level based on dynamic trust. This study will show a new approach on qualitative growth and consolidation of competitive power and may well be able to suggest practical ways to strengthen directions in the field of franchise industries. Research design, data, and methodology - In this study, based on literature review, we separated logistical-supporting activities and non-logistical-supporting activities from benefit-sharing activities. We modeled how benefit-sharing activities influence contract renewal intention of franchisees by dynamic trust. In particular, considering the possibility of trading concepts and characteristics of trust between providers opportunistic behaviors was defined as variables, depending on the situation and dynamic characters reveal their relationship trust concept. That is, dynamic trust having the possibility of changing depending on opportunistic risks and interdependencies by Lewis & Weigert(1985, 2012) was classified into transitional-based trust, calculated based trust, relational-based trust and balance-based on trust. The total of 104 samples from domestic franchisees being with franchisees were collected by using a structural composed questionnaire. Results - The results are as following. Benefit-sharing activities in logistical supporting activities appeared to affect the multidimensional concept of transitional trust, calculated based on trust, relationship-based trust and balance based on trust dynamic trust with all-defined impact. Non-logistical supporting activities appeared to affect significantly the positive (+) to the dynamic trust concept except transitional trust. Lewis & Weigert(1985; 2012) have proposed a dynamic confidence calculated from relations within-based trust relationship based on trust appears to affect the significant positive (+) to the balance-based confidence transactions confidence mechanism of the system side in the verified relationship. Finally, a relationship based on trust and confidence in the balance based on the Influence of dynamic renewed confidence showed significantly affect the positive(+). In particular, the balance based trust showed the acts as a mediating factors between relational trust and confidence and renew calculated. Conclusion - From the above these results, the significance from this study is as following. First, the proposed activity is to share and validate the approach by identifying the potential in the relationship from the contract with building dynamic trust, and one of the ways from the franchise headquarters and affiliated merchants mutual growth through win-win cooperation in sharing activities. Next, the dynamic segmentation confidence to suggest the possibility can be broken down over the validity and reliability test for each concept. In addition, by identifying the relationship between the dynamic level of confidence granular multi-dimensional concept, to determine the level of trust with a dynamic relationship between risk and interdependencies can be possible in franchise industries. In order to maintain and develop their mutual relationship, franchise industries should propose confidence-building steps to promote their quality improvement.

소셜미디어(social media) 플랫폼의 인기와 성공은 새로운 비즈니스 모델인 소셜커머스를 창출하게 되었다. 공동구매를 통해 파격적인 가격으로 제품이나 서비스를 제공하는 소셜커머스 시장은 계속적으로 주목할 만한 성장을 하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 성장의 이면에 소비자들의 회의적인 시각도 존재한다. 왜냐하면, 구입한 제품이나 서비스가 실제와는 다르거나, 불합리한 환불정책 등으로 소비자들의 불만이 고조되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 근원적인 이유는, 소셜커머스 마켓에서 소비자들이 의존할 만한 신뢰형성메커니즘이 제공되지 않고 있기 때문이다. 기존의 e-마켓플레이스에서는 판매자(seller)에 대한 구매자의 평가정보가 일종의 신뢰형성메커니즘을 제공하여 거래의 안정성이 보장되었다. 이러한 점에 착안하여, 본 연구에서는 소셜커머스마켓에서 소비자들에게 물건이나 서비스 정보제공에 있어서 일종의 큐레이터 역할을 하는 MD(merchandiser)의 역할에 주목하고, 신뢰형성메커니즘을 기반으로 MD에 대한 피드백코멘트와 MD의 실적프로파일 정보의 제공이 소비자들에게 어떠한 영향을 주는가를 검증한다. 이를 위해, 124명의 참가자가 실험실(laboratory experiment)연구에 참여하였다. 실험분석결과, MD에 대한 피드백코멘트와 실적프로파일이 소셜커머스 거래에서 신뢰를 높이는 것으로 나타났다.
