一定会非此即彼吗? 社会责任对实体企业金融化的非线性影响

在中国实体企业金融化的过程中,企业社会责任究竟扮演着何种角色?对于该问题,现有研究给出了“金融工具”和“治理工具”两种截然相反的回答。在中国社会经济处于快速转型期且企业履责水平存在明显差异的情况下,理论推演显示社会责任的影响更可能是倒“U”型而不是非此即彼式的,基于2010—2021年沪深A股上市公司数据进行的检验证实了该推论。研究发现:大多数企业的社会责任表现仍处于“金融工具”区间而非“治理工具”区间;非国有企业、中小企业和机构持股比例偏低的企业,其社会责任未能发挥“治理工具”的作用。动机检验和证伪检验显示,将不同水平社会责任判断为“金融工具”和“治理工具”具有合理性。

环境不确定性下企业社会责任、营销能力与财务绩效的关系研究

以我国A股715家上市公司2011—2020年的数据为样本,实证研究企业社会责任对其财务绩效的影响,并分析内部营销能力在二者之间的中介作用以及这一中介关系中外部环境不确定性的调节作用。结果显示:企业社会责任对营销能力与财务绩效均有显著的正向影响,企业社会责任通过营销能力这一中介变量对财务绩效产生积极影响,营销能力对财务绩效的影响受到环境不确定性的反向调节,环境不确定性还可以反向调节社会责任通过营销能力这一中介变量对财务绩效的影响。据此,企业应强化社会责任投入与管理,着力提升营销能力,适应环境变化动态调整发展策略;政府应为企业积极履行社会责任、实现高质量发展营造良好环境。

企业社会责任、融资约束与财务绩效

近些年来,中国积极倡导企业承担社会责任,企业社会责任(简称CSR)履行情况成为社会各界关注的焦点。以中国创业板上市公司为研究对象,运用2010—2020年的数据检验企业社会责任与财务绩效之间的非线性关系以及融资约束的中介效应,并进一步探索这种关系在内部控制、机构投资者持股影响下的变化情况。结果表明:(1)CSR与财务绩效之间呈现倒U型关系;(2)融资约束在CSR与财务绩效的关系中起到部分中介作用;(3)内部控制和机构投资者持股都减弱了CSR与财务绩效之间的关系,使得倒U型曲线更加平坦。建议企业要谨慎把握CSR的投资度,寻找最佳投入量,提高企业财务绩效;深入理解CSR对融资约束的缓解机制,避免CSR过度投资可能带来的负面效应;企业还应优化公司治理机制,提升内部控制质量,增加机构投资者的持股比例,以降低CSR对财务绩效的负面影响。研究结论丰富了CSR与财务绩效关系的相关研究,有助于为管理者履行社会责任和开展公司治理活动提供经验证据,从而推动企业实现可持续发展和绩效提升的目标。

慈善捐赠与公司财务绩效:基于动态变化与区域差异视角

慈善捐赠作为收入“第三次分配”实现共同富裕的重要渠道,也作为树立“企业公民”良好形象的重要途径,是否惠人惠己?现有关于慈善捐赠与企业财务绩效关系的研究尚未形成一致结论,由于变量度量指标、理论推演假说不同而不同。文章选取2006—2020年中国沪深两市A股所有上市公司为观测对象,对企业慈善捐赠金额动态变化如何影响其财务绩效进行了系统性分层次的检验。研究发现,捐赠金额动态变化是导致“慈善捐赠—财务绩效”关系不一的原因,企业持续增加捐赠能够实现社会福利和自身业绩的“双赢”,在一定程度上支持了“价值利器假说”。具体而言,企业捐赠金额增加和持续捐赠能够显著提升其财务绩效,且上期捐赠而本期继续增加捐赠,财务绩效提升效应更大;企业捐赠金额减少和持续不捐将显著降低其财务绩效,且上期捐赠而本期捐赠直接减少至零,财务绩效降低效应更大。从区域经济视角分析发现,与东部地区或者经济水平发展较高的地区相比,慈善捐赠动态变化对财务绩效的影响在西部地区或者经济发展水平较低的地区较弱甚至不相关。从广告营销角度分析发现,能够树立企业形象的广告营销与树立企业公民形象的慈善捐赠之间不存在替代关系,广告营销可以增强捐赠增加和持续捐赠带来的财务绩效提升效应,但也会恶化持续不捐对财务绩效的降低效应。从产权性质来看,无论是国有企业还是非国有企业,捐赠增加都能促进财务绩效提升,持续捐赠对财务绩效的提升效应在国有企业中更加显著,而捐赠减少或持续不捐对财务绩效的降低效应在国有企业中得到有效抑制。此外,建立逐步回归模型进行中介效应检验,分析表明,大客户关系是慈善捐赠变化影响企业财务绩效的一个渠道,说明慈善捐赠能够通过增强企业与大客户关系从而促进绩效提升。最后,文章采用倾向得分匹配(PSM)缓解样本选择内生性问题,结论依然成立。文章的主要贡献在于,丰富了慈善捐赠与财务绩效的关系研究,为企业制定慈善捐赠策略提供指导意义,为国有企业履行社会责任提供经验支持。

监督抑或合谋——多个大股东并存对企业社会责任的影响研究

新时代背景下探寻我国企业社会责任的履行动因具有重要的现实与理论意义。多个大股东并存这一特殊股权结构安排所引致的监督抑或合谋势必会对企业社会责任履行产生迥异影响。本文以我国沪深A股非金融类上市公司为研究样本,并采用和讯网发布的社会责任评分来刻画企业社会责任绩效,系统考察了多个大股东并存对企业社会责任的影响及机理。研究发现,多个大股东并存这一股权结构安排有效提升了企业社会责任绩效。强化监督意愿与增强监督能力是其中两条影响机制。进一步研究表明,多个大股东并存对具体领域的企业社会责任履行产生差异化影响,且通过提升企业社会责任绩效而改善了公司未来财务绩效。本研究不仅拓展并丰富了多个大股东并存与企业社会责任各自领域的研究视角及相关文献,也为切实提升我国企业社会责任履行程度提供了基于优化股权机构的全新治理思路。

财务宽裕对企业绿色创新的影响机制与实证检验--兼论社会责任与管理决断权的调节作用

企业是绿色创新的重要主体,资金是绿色创新不可或缺的要素。本文以2011—2020年我国沪深A股1395家上市公司为样本,运用固定效应模型和两阶段检验法,实证检验财务宽裕对绿色创新的影响及作用机制。研究发现,财务宽裕显著促进绿色创新。机制检验结果表明,财务宽裕通过促进企业数字化转型和提高风险承担能力助推企业绿色创新。进一步研究发现,企业社会责任和管理决断权在财务宽裕对绿色创新的影响中发挥反向调节作用;财务宽裕对绿色创新的驱动作用仅存在于成熟期,在成长期与衰退期无明显促进作用。本研究为财务宽裕企业合理利用冗余资源、提高绿色创新水平提供了思路与启示。

碳排放权交易下财务绩效对碳绩效的影响研究

本文基于2010—2020年实行碳交易试点地区所有A股上市公司的数据,采用双向固定效应模型分析企业财务绩效和碳绩效的关系,并引入环境社会责任为中介变量、碳排放权交易及绿色技术创新为调节变量。研究结果表明:企业财务绩效对碳绩效存在显著正向影响;环境社会责任在两者关系中充当正向且显著的中介作用,且该结论在多项稳健性检验中得到验证。同时,碳排放权交易和绿色技术创新在财务绩效对碳绩效的影响中具有正向调节作用。异质性检验结果显示,国有企业的财务绩效对碳绩效的正向影响更加显著。进一步研究显示,碳绩效亦可显著改善财务绩效,两者相互影响。此研究为我国企业长期发展提供了战略思维,旨在实现经济和环境效益的可持续平衡,呼吁管理者关注环境社会责任,为企业早日实现经济绩效与环境绩效共赢提供支持。
