儒家文化对企业绿色创新有影响吗?

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 在中国亟待发展绿色经济的背景下，本文从非正式制度框架考察了儒家文化对企业绿色创新的影响。基于2008—2018年沪深A股制造业上市公司的样本数据，实证发现，儒家文化对企业绿色创新具有正向促进作用。机制检验发现，企业社会责任、管理者自利以及组织战略变革是三条潜在的作用路径。异质性分析表明，儒家文化与企业绿色创新的正相关关系因环境规制强度、行业污染程度以及文化冲击强度的大小而存在差异。此外，儒家文化所引发的企业绿色创新对企业绩效具有正向影响。本文不仅为弘扬传统文化提供了必要的理论依据，同时为业界如何推动制造业企业绿色创新提供了指导意见。

Abstract: In the context of China energetically developing green economy, this paper breaks through the traditional framework of formal institutions, and investigates the impact of the Confucian culture on the corporate green innovation from a perspective of informal institutions. Using a sample of Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed firms in manufacturing industry during the period of 2008—2018, we find that the Confucian culture significantly puts a positive influence on the corporate green innovation in three primary ways, including the corporate social responsibility, managerial self-interest and business strategic transformation. Besides, the heterogeneity study shows that the environmental regulation intensity, the industry pollution level and the culture shock intensity can play an important role in the association between Confucian culture and corporate green innovation. Additionally, the corporate green innovation which is triggered by the Confucian culture can boost enterprise performance. Not only does this paper provide a necessary theoretical basis for carrying forward the Chinese traditional culture, but also offer guiding suggestions on how to promote the corporate green innovation of manufacturing enterprises.

Key words: Confucian culture, corporate green innovation, informal institutions, manufacturing enterprises
