碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 企業管理研究所 === 97 === Abstract The selection of interorganizational governance is always an important issue. There are many papers assert that social relationship has great influence on performance. However, most of those papers did not clearly describe under what kind of scenarios the social relationship could promote the performance. This study is based on embeddedness theory and transaction cost theory and tries to explore whether the degree of embeddedness has impacts on supply chain performance (Negotiation and Production efficiency) .Further, this study develops three scenarios, namely market uncertainty, profit impact and supply risk, and further examines the moderator effect of which between embeddedness and supply chain performance. After empirical analysis, the results are not totally the same as the expected assumptions. Embeddedness has a negative influence on negotiation efficiency and a positive impact on production efficiency. Under the different scenarios, market uncertainty has a moderating effect between embeddedness and production efficiency. In addition, profit impact has a moderator effect between embeddedness and the negotiation efficiency. However, the result found that the supply risk has no significant moderator effect. The greater the relationship embedded, the worse the performance became. This is different from the past results. We considered that the fine understanding of production and operation detail between trading party will has a negative effect on performance .Because each of them tend to ask for concessions on price or volume. Under market uncertainty, there is no effect on performance arise from overembeddedness which leads to the shortage of innovative and abundant information. As for supply risk, the power of market limit the effect of relationship on performance.
