| Summary: | 碩士 === 國防大學 === 運籌管理學系 === 103 === In recent years, countries worldwide are actively engaged in expanding their scope of international affairs, vying for foreign investments in domestic construction projects, developing their own economies, amending their laws and policies, and fostering an environment favorable for establishing business contracts. However, factors such as contract management maturity, transaction frequency, and venture experience contribute to differences in the complexity of contracts, generating changes in trust relationships. Hence, on the basis of transaction cost theory, resource-based view, principal–agent problem, and contract management theory, this study explored whether the dimensions of environmental, organizational, and transactional attributes affect contract complexity and mutual trust. Questionnaires were distributed to certified purchasing professionals engaged in procurement activities in international enterprises.The survey counted 300 questionnaires were issued, 60 valid questionnaires were recovered, and the recovery rate was 20%.
The results show that incomplete legal systems affected contract complexity, whereas governmental interference did not have significant evidence. Contract complexity significantly and positively influenced organizational characteristics. High transaction frequency facilitated designing complex contracts, and outcome measurability exerted no influence on contract complexity. The results of this study can be used as a reference for international enterprises and governmental departments in drawing contracts.
