企业社会责任与创新:一项Meta分析的检验

Corporate Social Responsibility and Innovation:A Test Based on Meta-analysis

采用Meta分析方法,基于172篇中英文实证文献,研究了企业社会责任对创新的作用机理,并深入探讨了潜在调节变量对二者间关系的作用效果。研究表明:企业社会责任对创新存在显著的正向影响,二者关系受到文化背景、企业规模、主客观测量方式和创新投入产出测量方式的调节。具体而言,相比东方文化,西方文化背景下企业社会责任对创新的影响更为显著;中小型企业社会责任与创新的相关性比大型企业更强;相较于客观测量方式,主观测量方式下企业履行社会责任更有利于创新;企业社会责任对创新产出的正向影响比创新投入更大。

The mechanism of the impact of corporate social responsibility(CSR)on innovation was studied based on 172 empirical literature in Chinese and English using a Meta-analysis method.And the moderating effect of potential adjustment variables on the relationship between the two was explored.It is shown that a significant positive impact on enterprise innovation is exerted by CSR,and the relationship is moderated by cultural background,firm size,measurement method,and innovation measurement method.Specifically,the influence of CSR on enterprise innovation is more significant in Western culture than in Eastern culture.The correlation between CSR and enterprise innovation is stronger in small and medium-sized enterprises than in enterprises with large scale.The fulfillment of CSR is more beneficial to enterprise innovation with subjective measurement than with objective measurement.And the positive influence of CSR on innovation output is greater than that on innovation input.
