Abstract

Although the role of justice has long been documented in organizational contexts, little is known about the relative effects of distinct types of justice in inter-organizational relationships. Building on transaction cost theory (TCT), our research investigates how procedural justice and distributive justice affect alliance success differentially and under what conditions these effects are amplified or weakened. Results derived from a sample of 410 Chinese alliance firms involving two key informants per firm suggest that procedural justice has a greater influence on alliance success than distributive justice and that such a comparative effect varies across types of trust and conflict. Specifically, when alliance firms share a high level of goodwill trust or constructive conflict, they rely to a greater extent on procedural justice than on distributive justice to achieve alliance success. In contrast, when there is a high level of constructive conflict, alliance firms depend more heavily on distributive justice than on procedural justice to achieve success. Our study extends TCT to explain how, in the context of Chinese culture, firms employ appropriate tools of justice in ongoing alliances.

正义何时推动联盟成功?基于交易成本理论的直接和调节效应
虽然公正在组织环境中的作用早已被记录在案,但人们对不同类型的公正在组织间关系中的相对影响知之甚少。本研究以交易成本理论(TCT)为基础,探讨了程序公平和分配公平对联盟成功的不同影响,以及在什么条件下这些影响会被放大或减弱。对410家中国联盟企业的调查结果表明,程序公平对联盟成功的影响大于分配公平,而且这种比较效应在不同类型的信任和冲突中有所不同。具体而言,当联盟企业具有较高的商誉信任或建设性冲突时,它们在更大程度上依赖程序公正而不是分配公正来实现联盟成功。相反,当存在高水平的建设性冲突时,联盟公司更依赖于分配公正而不是程序公正来获得成功。我们的研究扩展了TCT,以解释在中国文化背景下,企业如何在正在进行的联盟中使用适当的正义工具。

期刊介绍: The Asia Pacific Journal of Management publishes original manuscripts on management and organizational research in the Asia Pacific region, encompassing Pacific Rim countries and mainland Asia. APJM focuses on the extent to which each manuscript addresses matters that pertain to the most fundamental question: “What determines organization success?” The major academic disciplines that we cover include entrepreneurship, human resource management, international business, organizational behavior, and strategic management. However, manuscripts that belong to other well-established disciplines such as accounting, economics, finance, marketing, and operations generally do not fall into the scope of APJM. We endeavor to be the major vehicle for exchange of ideas and research among management scholars within or interested in the broadly defined Asia Pacific region.Key features include: Rigor - maintained through strict review processes, high quality global reviewers, and Editorial Advisory and Review Boards comprising prominent researchers from many countries. Relevance - maintained by its focus on key management and organizational trends in the region. Uniqueness - being the first and most prominent management journal published in and about the fastest growing region in the world.
