IJV Partner Trustworthy Behaviour: The Role of Host Country Governance and Partner Selection Criteria
研究基于对六个亚洲国家144家国际合资企业的调查和档案数据，发现东道国治理质量直接正向影响合作伙伴的可信行为，且弱治理会削弱某些选择标准的效果，同时区分了善意和能力两个可信维度。
abstract This study provides new insight into the interplay between partner‐ and institution‐level bases of trustworthy behaviour in international joint ventures (IJVs). The results of the study, based on survey and archival data collected on 144 IJVs across six Asian countries, revealed that host country governance quality directly and positively influences IJV partner trustworthy behaviour. It was also found that weak host country governance undermined the effectiveness of certain partner selection criteria in serving as a tool for establishing an IJV with a trustworthy partner. Furthermore, through distinguishing between two dimensions of trustworthiness (benevolence and competence), it was demonstrated that partner benevolence is facilitated by relationship‐oriented criteria, whereas partner competence is facilitated by task‐oriented criteria. The implications of these results for the establishment and management of IJVs are discussed.
