数字技术何以促进企业劳动投资效率提升?

How Can Digital Technology Improve the Labor Investment Efficiency of Enterprises?

在我国劳动力人口缩减的背景下,提高劳动投资效率对优化微观企业生产效率、加快推动经济发展提质增效具有重要意义。本文以2007—2020年A股上市公司为样本,实证检验了数字化转型对企业劳动投资效率的影响。研究发现,数字化转型能够促进企业劳动投资效率提升,并且这一提升效应主要是通过决策效应的优化以及资源效应的提升来实现。进一步,数字化转型主要通过影响企业雇佣行为优化劳动投资效率。此外,数字化转型对企业劳动投资效率的影响主要存在于劳动密集型、资本密集型以及知识密集型企业。本文的结论不仅能够为企业优化劳动力资源的配置效率提供管理建议,还能够为政策制定者更好地认识数字化转型对企业生产劳动状况的微观影响带来政策启示。

Faced with a shrinking workforce in our country,improving the labor investment efficiency is of great significance for optimizing the production efficiency of micro enterprises and thus accelerating the improvement of quality and efficiency of economic development.Taking A-share listed companies from 2007 to 2020 as samples,this paper empirically tests the impact of digital transformation on the labor investment efficiency of enterprises.Research shows that digital transformation helps to improve the labor investment efficiency of enterprises,and this enhancement effect is mainly achieved through the optimization of decision effect and the enhancement of resource effect.Furthermore,the digital transformation optimizes the labor investment efficiency mainly through influencing the employment behavior of enterprises.In addition,the impact of digital transformation on the labor investment efficiency mainly exists in labor-intensive,capital-intensive and knowledge-intensive enterprises.The conclusions of this paper can not only provide management suggestions for enterprises to optimize the allocation efficiency of labor resources,but also bring policy implications for policy makers to better understand the micro impact of digital transformation on the production labor conditions of enterprises.
