AFTER THE INK DRIES: THE INTERACTION OF TRUST AND CONTROL IN US‐BASED INTERNATIONAL JOINT VENTURES
研究了129家美国国际合资企业中，年龄和合作伙伴信任如何调节控制机制与绩效感知的关系。发现正式控制在年轻合资企业中与绩效正相关，在成熟企业中负相关；社会控制仅在情感信任存在时与绩效正相关。
Abstract This study empirically examines the moderating effects of age and partner trust on the relationship between control mechanisms and perceptions of performance in 129 US‐based international joint ventures (IJVs). A reliance on formal control mechanisms and general managers’ perceptions of IJV performance were found to be positively related in younger IJVs, but this relationship became negative in more mature IJVs. In addition, social control mechanisms and perceptions of IJV performance were positively related, but only in the presence of affect‐based trust between the parents.
