In explaining public–private partnership (PPP) performance, both contractual and relational conditions play a role. Research has shown that these conditions may complement each other in successful PPPs. However, which specific combinations of conditions and how these combinations may influence PPP performance remains unclear. Building on the ideas of neo-institutional economics, principal–agent theory, relational contracting, and governance theories, this article explores the mix and match of contractual aspects and relational characteristics in successful PPP projects. A fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) of 25 PPP projects in the Netherlands and Flanders (Belgium) was used to test how contractual factors, such as the use of sanctions and risk allocation, and relational conditions, such as trust and conflict management, jointly shape the performance of PPPs. The results show three different combinations of conditions that match with high performing PPPs. These configurations often consist of a mix of contractual and relational conditions, which confirms our initial expectation that these factors complement each other, but a combination of only relational conditions is also present.

混合搭配:如何在成功的公私合作伙伴关系中结合合同和关系条件

在解释公私合作 (PPP) 绩效时,合同和关系条件都发挥了作用。研究表明,这些条件可以在成功的 PPP 中相互补充。然而,哪些具体的条件组合以及这些组合如何影响 PPP 性能仍不清楚。本文基于新制度经济学、委托代理理论、关系合同和治理理论的思想,探讨了成功的 PPP 项目中合同方面和关系特征的混合和匹配。荷兰和佛兰德斯(比利时)的 25 个 PPP 项目的模糊集定性比较分析 (QCA) 被用于测试合同因素,例如制裁的使用和风险分配,以及关系条件,例如信任和冲突管理,共同塑造 PPP 的绩效。结果显示了与高性能 PPP 相匹配的三种不同条件组合。这些配置通常由合同条件和关系条件的混合组成,这证实了我们最初的预期,即这些因素相互补充,但也存在仅关系条件的组合。
