摘要

跨組織間的合作關係被視為企業創造競爭優勢的關鍵，關係治理作為其重要策略。然而，以往常以關係規範做為關係治理之衡量工具，近年來雖已有相關研究發展出衡量關係治理之變數，但較少加以驗證。關係治理與關係規範構面之衡量，一直存在著爭議。因此，有必要運用適當方法針對關係治理衡量課題加以釐清。本研究回顧相關文獻，探究關係治理衡量課題，並進行相關變數衡量能力之驗證，以提出有效關係治理衡量之變數。驗證工作上，本研究針對關係規範與關係治理構面之變數發展適當之問卷，選擇台灣汽機車產業原物料與零組件供應商為實證對象，採郵寄方式進行問卷調查。然後採用項目反應理論模式工具進行變數衡量。結果顯示現有關係治理構面部分變數衡量能力較弱，刪除衡量能力較弱之變數後，加入關係規範之變數，使得衡量關係治理構面之變數具有統計上較佳之辨識力。因此，本研究結果可有效地衡量關係治理，有助於後續相關研究之進行。

The inter-organizational cooperative relationship is the main factor of creating competitive advantages for businesses. Relational governance has been considered as an important strategy. Relational norms have been used in prior literatures for measuring relational governance, but they have not been verified as an effective measurement. Recently, related research has developed constructs of relational governance, but neglected the empirical verify of these constructs. Therefore, it is necessary to verify the measurement of relational governance and relationship norms. After reviewing related literatures, this research explores the measurement of relational governance and relationship norms, and adopts item response theory to verify the discriminative power of measure the relational governance and relationship norms. Data were collected via a questionnaire survey of suppliers for Taiwanese automobile and motorcycle companies. The result shows that the partly manifest variables of relational governance are not according to goodness of fit indices. When the manifest variables with weak measuring for relational governance are deleted and the manifest variables of relationship norms are added, overall discriminative power of measurement for relational governance significantly improves, and manifest variables can more effectively measure relational governance.
