Abstract

Extant empirical work frequently fails to capture the underlying causes derived from differing governing types and link them to the performance outcomes observed. In response to their call for further research in this area we conduct an empirical study based on the work of Reuer and Arino (2007) examining the function of relational governance in the presence of complex contractual governance. Structural equation modelling is employed to examine 204 architect – building contractor alliances. We find that both formal governance and relational governance are multidimensional constructs and that relational governance acts as a substitute to formal governance under conditions of high contractual complexity. Implications for further research and for practitioners are described.
