This study redefines information power and informational justice as information competencies drawing upon information-related theories. Furthermore, it investigates their impact on information sharing and logistics performance within inter-firm relationships in the supply chain context. To analyze their correlations and causal relationships, a survey was conducted with employees working in departments associated with supply chain management (SCM) in South Korea. A total of 300 copies of the questionnaire were used in statistical analysis, and a structural equation model was used for hypothesis testing. The findings indicate that both information power and informational justice exert a significant positive influence on information sharing. Moreover, information sharing significantly enhances logistics performance, serving as an outcome variable. This study integrates concepts related to information into a single framework called information competencies, while also redefining the role of information sharing. Inputs for academic scalability and practical implications for supply chain participants are discussed
