Overview

Survey analysis reveals how trust and relational contracts drive collaborative innovation in manufacturing enterprises, highlighting knowledge sharing as a key mediator.

Key Points

  • To examine how multidimensional trust and contractual governance mechanisms affect collaborative innovation performance between core manufacturing enterprises and suppliers, considering the mediating role of knowledge sharing and the moderating role of environmental dynamism.
  • Surveyed 286 core manufacturing enterprises using structured questionnaires.
  • Analyzed structural equation models using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 24.0 to evaluate direct, mediating, and moderating relationships.
  • Cognitive trust, emotional trust, and relational contracts significantly improve collaborative innovation performance, whereas formal contracts exhibit no significant direct effect.
  • Knowledge sharing partially mediates the performance effects of cognitive trust, emotional trust, and relational contracts, while fully mediating the effect of formal contracts.
  • Environmental dynamism positively moderates the relationships between cognitive trust, relational contracts, and knowledge sharing.
