Abstract

Many previous studies on the subject of supply chain have consistently claimed that they need collaboration among the partners of supply chains in order to enhance supply chain performance. The purpose of research is to examine the causal linkages among relational characteristics, collaboration, performance in the logistics firm and this research focuses on two types collaboration(operational collaboration and strategic collaboration) as the mediation variable between relational characteristics and supply chain performance. To test the above research questions, we collected data from logistics firm(N=164). The proposed structural model was tested using the PLS(Partial Least Square) statistical program. The research results are as follows. Trust, and information sharing have positive influences on operational collaboration, and operational collaboration have also positive influences on supply chain performance. Duration and information sharing have positive influences on strategic collaboration. However, strategic collaboration has non-positive influences on supply chain performance. The effect of relational characteristics on supply chain performance is mediated by operational collaboration.

공급사슬관리에 관한 많은 선행연구들이 지속적으로 공급사슬성과의 향상을 위해서는 협업이 필요하다고 주장하고 있다. 본 연구는 물류기업의 관계특성, 협업, 성과 간의 인과관계를 밝히는 것이며, 특히 관계특성과 성과 간의 관계에서 매개변수로서 두 종류의 협업(운영적 협업과 전략적 협업)에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 분석을 위해 물류기업 164개의 자료가 사용되었으며, PLS를 이용해 구조모형을 분석하였다. 분석결과 신뢰성, 정보공유는 운영적협업에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 운영적 협업은 공급사슬 성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 거래지속의지와 정보공유는 전략적 협업에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤으나, 전략적 협업은 공급사슬 성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 관계 특성과 공급사슬성과 사이에는 운영적 협업이 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다.
