社会信任促进企业创新了吗?

Does Social Trust Promote Corporate Innovation

信任是经济社会运行和高质量发展的润滑剂,是企业社会资本的重要构成。从地区和企业两个维度考察社会信任对企业创新的影响,结果发现社会信任能够显著促进企业创新,且企业社会信任对创新的推动作用强于城市社会信任。影响机制可能是城市社会信任通过产生信任效应和市场效应、降低交易成本和不公平竞争促进企业创新;企业社会信任通过降低融资约束与促进信息共享推动企业创新。这为社会信任、企业创新的研究提供了新的视角和有益补充。

Trust is the lubricant for economic and social functioning and quality development,and is an important component of corporate social capital.This paper examines the influence of social trust on corporate innovation from both regional and corporate dimensions,and finds that social trust can significantly promote corporate innovation,and corporate social trust has a stronger role in promoting innovation than urban social trust.The mechanisms behind may be urban social trust,which promotes firm innovation by generating trust and market effects,reducing transaction costs and unfair competition,and corporate social trust,which promotes firm innovation by reducing financing constraints and facilitating information sharing.This paper provides new perspectives and useful additions to the study of social trust and corporate innovation.
