Abstract:

Cooperative supply is an effective way to alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand of integrated medical and nursing services and increase the total supply of services.The governance mechanism can inhibit the opportunistic behavior caused by uncertainty and asset specificity, so as to improve the organizational cooperation performance, which is an important factor affecting the cooperative supply performance of integrated medical and nursing services. However, the relationship between the governance mechanism of cooperative network and the cooperative supply performance of integrated medical and nursing services is still vague and needs to be further verified.Problem Description In this paper, the Structure Equation Model is used to analyze the relationship between variables. The research questions in this article are: (1)How the contract governance mechanism and relationship governance mechanism affect the direct and indirect performance of integrated medical and nursing services? (2)What's the mechanism between them? First of all, the analysis framework of the cooperative network governance mechanism on the cooperative supply performance is constructed, including the relationship and influence path between contract governance mechanism, relationship governance mechanism, relationship quality and performances. Secondly, based on questionnaire survey data, structural equation model is used to carry out empirical analysis. Finally, based on the test results of the research hypothesis, the effect mechanism is analyzed. Taking into account factors such as sample representativeness and sample availability in different regions, Guangzhou and Xi 'an are selected for questionnaire and interview data collection. A total of 355 questionnaires are collected. The results show that: (1)the governance mechanism of the cooperative network can be divided into contract governance mechanism and relationship governance mechanism, and the influence of both on the cooperative supply performance is characterized by alienation. (2)Contract governance mechanism has a significant positive impact on the direct performance of cooperative supply.(3)The relationship governance mechanism has a significant positive impact on the indirect performance of cooperative supply. (4) Relationship quality plays a significant mediating role between the contract governance mechanism and the direct and indirect performance. The findings of this study are of great significance for the high-quality development of integrated medical and nursing services and the theoretical innovation of cooperative governance. In practice, institutions and related subjects can match the current situation in this study according to their own actual characteristics of contract governance mechanism, relationship governance mechanism, relationship quality and cooperative supply performance, and refer to research conclusions and inspirations to break through the dilemma of cooperative supply of integrated medical and nursing services according to local conditions.

Key words: the integrated medical and nursing services, contract governance mechanism, relationship governance mechanism, cooperative supply performance
