隨著科技快速的發展，組織間越來越沒有國界的限制，因此將面臨充滿競爭 的全球化環境。組織必須改善其彈性與回應率來與其他的組織競爭，為了達到這 個目的，組織可使用跨組織資訊系統來與供應鏈中的交易夥伴連結。過去的研究 指出，組織可藉由使用跨組織資訊系統與交易夥伴合作來獲益。然而，在實行跨 組織資訊系統時將涉及多個組織，為了更了解跨組織資訊系統的潛力，因此對於 跨組織間不相容的問題必須要做更進一步的了解。 本研究以技術、文化和流程三個層面來探討跨組織相容性問題。除了跨組織 相容性的觀點，本研究亦使用權力不平衡當作調節變數來分析權力不平衡是否會 影響跨組織相容性和跨組織資訊系統之間的關係。透過郵寄問卷至台灣營業額排 名前 1000 名製造業的採購主管，我們探討跨組織資訊系統相容性對於跨組織資 訊系統的整合是否具有正向的影響，並進一步了解權力不平衡是否會弱化跨組織 相容性和跨組織資訊系統間的關係。結果顯示，技術相容性和文化相容性對於跨 組織資訊系統整合有正向影響；除此之外，權力不平衡對於跨組織相容性和跨組 織資訊系統之間的關係並沒有調節效果。 As a result of the rapid development of technology, organizations are facing a more competitive environment and serious global competition without boundary limitations. Organizations attempt to find way to improve the flexibility and responsiveness to compete with other organizations. In order to achieve this goal, organizations use inter-organizational system (IOS) as a powerful tool to link with trading partners in supply chains. Prior studies indicate that organizations can gain significant benefits through using inter-organizational system (IOS) to collaborate with their partners. However, because the implementation of IOS will involve multiple organizations, many inter-organizational incompatible problems have to be addressed to realize the full potential of IOS. This study addressed the inter-organizational compatibility in technical, cultural and process dimensions. Apart from the inter-organizational compatibility perspective, we use power imbalance as the moderating variable to analyze whether power imbalance will influence the relationship between inter-organizational compatibility and IOS integration. Through a survey of questionnaires in Top 1000 manufacturing firms in Taiwan, we examined whether inter-organizational compatibilities are positively associated with IOS integration, and whether the power imbalance weaken the moderating effect of the relationship between inter-organizational compatibility and IOS integration. The results demonstrate that technical compatibility and cultural compatibility are positively associated with IOS integration and power imbalance fail to moderate the relationship between inter-organizational compatibility and IOS integration.
