Purpose

This paper aims to clarify ambiguous results from previous research on the relationship between contextual factors, trust and supply chain governance (SCG).

Design/methodology/approach

This study carried out a systematic literature review in 11 databases, with articles published until 2018. Afterward, this study conducted a thematic analysis in 60 articles to address the contextual factors, governance structures and trust approaches raised in previous research.

Findings

The thematic analysis revealed that seven contextual factors influence the choice of contractual and relational mechanisms in supply chains: relationship history, environmental uncertainty, perceived risk, perceived justice, asset specificity, power asymmetry and interdependence. The findings explained the ambiguous results of past research by proposing that contractual and relational governance are complementary and that the presence of trust (affective and competence-based) moderates the relationship between contextual factors and SCG.

Originality/value

This research advances the SCG literature by proposing trust (affective and competence-based) as a moderating variable that fosters governance mechanisms in supply chain relationships.

供应链治理：概念模型

目的

本文旨在澄清先前关于情境因素、信任和供应链治理 (SCG) 之间关系的研究中的模棱两可的结果。

设计/方法/方法

本研究对 11 个数据库进行了系统的文献综述，文章发表到 2018 年。 随后，本研究对 60 篇文章进行了主题分析，以解决先前研究中提出的背景因素、治理结构和信任方法。

发现

专题分析表明，影响供应链中合同和关系机制选择的七个背景因素：关系历史、环境不确定性、感知风险、感知正义、资产专用性、权力不对称和相互依存。研究结果通过提出合同和关系治理是互补的，并且信任（基于情感和能力）的存在缓和了上下文因素与 SCG 之间的关系，解释了过去研究的模棱两可的结果。

原创性/价值

这项研究通过提出信任（基于情感和能力的）作为促进供应链关系治理机制的调节变量来推进 SCG 文献。
