Abstract

This study expects to provide a reference for the catering industry. The travel industry expands sales channels and turnover tends to choose a strategic alliance with the alliance objects mutually beneficial cooperation to improve their competitiveness. This study examines the effects of alliance conditions and person-organization fit (P-O-fit) on the performance of strategic alliances between travel industries. Furthermore, this study contained the intermediary performance as a moderator to examine the influences of alliance conditions and P-O-fit on the performance of strategic alliances. There were 406 usable questionnaires collected. We verified the hypotheses by the structural equation modeling method. The results suggest that the alliance conditions have positive and significant direct effects on the performance of strategic alliances. Moreover, the P-O-fit also has positive and significant effects on the performance of strategic alliances. Furthermore, the intermediary performance has substantial moderating effects on the influences of P-O-fit on the performance of strategic alliances. The conclusion provides a theoretical and practical basis between performance and the travel industry.
