Abstract

Despite its declared importance for governing complexity in projects, few empirical studies have studied how different types of supply chain integration (SCI) activities (e.g., coordinative and collaborative integration) interplay and affect performance. To address this gap, the purpose of this paper is to study how complexity can be governed through coordinative and collaborative SCI, and how their interplay affects performance in project-based buyer-supplier relationships. We apply structural equation modeling, using dyadic empirical data from 102 infrastructure projects. The overall results verify our developed model and illuminate how the interplay between contractual and relational governance, in terms of coordinative and collaborative SCI, mediates the effect of technical and organizational complexity on project performance. This study contributes to theory and practice by distinguishing between contractual governance based on formal coordinative SCI and relational governance based on emerged collaborative SCI, as well as showing how their interplay affects performance in project-based supply chains.

通过供应链集成管理技术和组织复杂性：基础设施项目绩效的二元视角

尽管它对管理项目中的复杂性很重要，但很少有实证研究研究不同类型的供应链集成(SCI)活动(例如，协调和协作集成)如何相互作用并影响绩效。为了解决这一差距，本文的目的是研究如何通过协调和协作SCI来治理复杂性，以及它们的相互作用如何影响基于项目的买方-供应商关系中的绩效。我们采用结构方程模型，使用来自102个基础设施项目的二元经验数据。总体结果验证了我们开发的模型，并阐明了在协调和协作SCI方面，合同和关系治理之间的相互作用如何中介技术和组织复杂性对项目绩效的影响。本研究通过区分基于正式的协调SCI的契约治理和基于新兴的协作SCI的关系治理，并展示了它们的相互作用如何影响基于项目的供应链的绩效，为理论和实践做出了贡献。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Project Management is recognized as a premier publication in the field of project management and organization studies. Our main objective is to contribute to the advancement of project management and project organizing through the publication of groundbreaking research. We are dedicated to presenting fresh insights and new knowledge in various domains, including project management, program management, portfolio management, project-oriented organizations, project networks, and project-oriented societies. We actively encourage submissions that explore project management and organizing from the perspectives of organizational behavior, strategy, supply chain management, technology, change management, innovation, and sustainability. By publishing high-quality research articles and reviews, we strive to revolutionize the academic landscape and propel the field of project management forward. We invite researchers, scholars, and practitioners to contribute to our journal and be a part of the progressive development in this exciting field.
