Relationship quality,information sharing and cooperative behaviors:Moderating effect of IT capability

The study analyzes how inter-firm relationship quality (including inter-organizational relationship quality and inter-personal relationship quality) impacts information sharing and cooperation behaviors between manufacturers and distributors in marketing channel, and further discusses how manufacturers' IT capability moderates the relationship between inter-firm relationship quality and information sharing. Based on a survey data of 288 Chinese manufacturers, we found both inter-organizational relationship quality and inter-personal relationship quality have positive influences on information sharing, and information sharing has a positive impact on cooperation behaviors. At the same time, the results reveal that IT capability may weaken the positive effect between inter-personal relationship and information sharing. These conclusions have significant implications for marketing channel governance practices.
