高管教育水平异质性与企业社会责任关系研究

Research on the Relationship between Heterogeneity of Executives’Educational Level and Corporate Social Responsibility

高管成员是企业与利益相关者联系的核心人物,对企业社会责任的履行产生重要影响。企业在复杂多变的环境下,高管教育水平异质性越高,处理繁杂问题和突发事件的能力越强,有助于企业战略决策的制定。本文基于高层梯队理论和企业社会责任理论,以2010年-2019年的上市企业为研究对象,运用固定效应回归模型研究不同企业年龄和企业研发投入水平下高管教育水平异质性对企业社会责任的影响。研究结果表明,高管成员作为管理层的核心人员,高管教育水平异质性越高越有助于企业社会责任的履行;企业年龄越大,高管团队的教育水平异质性对企业社会责任的影响更加显著;企业研发投入力度越大,高管团队的教育水平异质性会有利于企业更好地履行社会责任。该结论反映出企业可以从高管的人力资源配置角度出发,有效构建高管团队;增加企业研发投入,强化对企业高管团队的培训,保持企业发展活力,从而改善企业社会责任问题。
