AN EMPIRICAL EXAMINATION OF RELATIONSHIP MAGNITUDE
基于文献回顾，提出组织间关系由关系类型和关系强度构成，关系强度（信任、承诺、依赖）影响关系类型，进而影响关系价值感知，调查数据支持该假设。
Based upon a review of the extant literature, it is proposed that the structure of an interorganizational relationship is composed of relationship type and the under‐researched construct of relationship magnitude. Specifically, it is hypothesized that relationship magnitude, a second order construct composed of trust, commitment, and dependence, affects relationship type, which affects the perception of value of the relationship. The results of a survey analyzed through structural equation modeling support these hypotheses.
