In recent years, the resource-sharing model has developed rapidly, and manufacturing enterprises have paid more attention to profit distribution and resource investment. Studying the role of fairness concern behaviour in enterprise resource-sharing decisions can provide strategic references for enterprises to implement resource-sharing. This article considers the fairness concern behaviour of resource-sharing enterprises and constructs two symmetric evolutionary game models for resource-sharing. Based on the resource-sharing strategy when the enterprise is fair and neutral, a comparative study is conducted on the impact of fairness concern behaviour on the resource-sharing equilibrium strategy. MATLAB is used for numerical simulation. The analysis results indicate that: (1) the system cost coefficient, information level coefficient, information loss coefficient, resource conversion ability coefficient, resource collaboration ability coefficient, and penalty factor all have an impact on the strategic evolution results of both parties in the game enterprise, (2) fairness concerns include heterogeneity, directionality, and reinforcement, which affect the resource-sharing strategies of enterprises. This study provides a reference for shared decision-making in manufacturing enterprises and provides recommendations for their business development.
