管理提升了企业劳动生产率吗?——来自中国企业——劳动力匹配调查的经验证据

Does Management Improve Labor Productivity?

与现有文献多从人力资本、技术进步等宏观结构性因素出发研究劳动生产率增长问题有所不同,本文基于2015~2016年"中国企业—劳动力匹配调查"(CEES)数据,就管理效率这一重要的微观因素对我国企业劳动生产率增长的影响效应、影响机制进行了稳健地实证检验。运用OLS、PSM和IV等估计策略,本文研究发现:管理效率对劳动生产率增长具有显著的正向因果效应,管理效率每提升10%,其对劳动生产率增长的边际贡献约为14.2%。影响机制分析表明,与"低管理效率"分组企业相比,"高管理效率"分组企业在人力资本质量、物质资本质量、产品质量竞争力、内部知识分享等方面表现更优,上述4个因素是管理效率促进劳动生产率提升的重要渠道。本文的研究结论对于我国企业提升劳动生产率具有重要的政策启示。

Different from the existing literature to study the problem of labor productivity growth from macro-structural factors such as human capital and technological progress, based on the data of" China Employer-Employee Survey "from2015 to 2016, using the mainstream estimation methods such as OLS, PSM and IV,this paper conducts a solid empirical test on the impact of management efficiency on the labor productivity of enterprises and discusses its mechanism.The results show that management efficiency has a significant positive causal effect on the labor productivity of enterprises and is an important driving force for enterprises to enhance labor productivity. The results of parameter estimation show that for every 10% improvement in management efficiency, its marginal contribution to labor productivity growth is about 14.2%.The enterprises with high management efficiency can attract higher-quality staff will be easier to introduce advanced equipment and imported intermediate goods, their knowledge sharing within the enterprise is more smoothly, and they will have higher product quality. That is, management efficiency effectively improves labor productivity through the channels above. The conclusion of this paper has important enlightenment for Chinese enterprises to improve labor productivity.
