Lee, Young Pal Advisor : Prof. Kim, Jong Ho, Ph.D. Department of Business Administration, Graduate School of Chosun University

This study is to examine the effects of relationship investment, financial performance, social performance, relationship trust, sensitivity, affective commitment, dependence, and long-term orientation and explore relationship trust, sensitivity, affective commitment, and dependence play significantly mediating roles between relationship investment and financial performance as well as social performance, and long-term orientation. For these purposes the author hypothesized a systemic model which is made up of several variables. In this model, relationship investment affected relationship trust, sensitivity, and dependence. Financial performance influenced relationship trust. Social performance had an impact on affective commitment. Relationship trust was proposed to influence sensitivity, affective commitment, dependence, and long-term orientation. Sensitivity and affective commitment were suggested to affect dependence and long-term orientation. Lastly, dependence affected long-term orientation. The data were collected from 226 automobile parts buyers in Korea and were analyzed using frequence, exploratory factor analysis, reliability, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and path analysis through SPSS/WIN 20.0 and AMOS 20.0. In order to test unidimensionality and nomological validity of the items of each construct, the author implemented scale refinement procedure. The results of factor analyses with EFA and CFA, and reliability test with Cronbach's α warranted unidimensionality of the items for each variable. Additionally, nomological validity of the items was warranted from the result of correlation analysis. The data were analyzed with structural equation modeling with AMOS 20.0 and SPSS Win/PC 20.0. The result of the overall model analysis appeared as follows: χ2=73.568(df=12), p<.001, χ2/df=6.131, GFI=.928, AGFI=.875, CFI=.946, RMR=.085, NFI=.937, IFI=.947. Since the results of path analysis indicated a good fit, we could further analyze our data. The findings can be summarized as follows: According to path analysis, first, relationship investment had significant effects on relationship trust and sensitivity. However, it did not significantly affect dependence. Second, financial performance had a positively direct effect on relationship trust. Third, social performance had a statistically direct effect on affective commitment. Fourth, relationship trust had direct effects on sensitivity, affective commitment, and long-term orientation. Fifth, sensitivity had direct effects on dependence and long-term orientation. Sixth, affective commitment significantly influenced dependence and long-term orientation. Last, dependence had a significant effect on long-term orientation. According to the results of indirect effects, relationship investment had significant indirect effects on sensitivity, affective commitment, dependence, and long-term orientation. Financial performance had significant indirect effects on sensitivity, affective commitment, dependence, and long-term orientation. Social performance had significant indirect effects on dependence and long-term orientation. Relationship trust had significant indirect effects on dependence and long-term orientation. Sensitivity and affective commitment indirectly influenced long-term orientation. According to the analysis of moderating role of contract period, there were significant differences of the impact of financial performance on relationship trust, the impact of social performance on affective commitment, the impact of relationship trust on affective commitment, the impact of sensitivity on dependence, the impact of affective commitment on dependence between the below 10 year group and over 10 year group.
