摘要: “和谐共生、合作共赢”的组织文化是推动民营企业积极履行本地社会责任的内在驱动力,但目前鲜有文献关注到该现象及其背后蕴含的深层逻辑。本文基于企业文化与战略管理的基本理论框架,探讨“和合”文化对民营企业本地社会责任履行的影响。基于2007—2021年中国A股民营上市企业样本数据的研究结果表明:“和合”文化对民营企业的本地社会责任履行存在促进作用,这一影响在企业注册地市场化程度高以及高管本地任职时更显著。进一步研究发现:“和合”文化在儒家文化氛围较为浓厚地区的企业中发挥更大作用;“和合”文化在东部地区发挥的作用最大,在中西部地区发挥的作用较小,东部地区民营企业的本地社会责任履行受“和”“合”文化的共同影响,而中部地区更受“合”文化的影响,西部地区则更受“和”文化的影响。本文将企业“和合”文化、民营企业本地社会责任等战略决策进行有机融合,拓展了关于企业文化以及企业本地社会责任履行方面的理论研究,对加快构建具有中国特色与理论价值的中国式管理学核心研究议题具有积极意义。

Abstract: The organizational culture of “harmonious coexistence and win-win cooperation” serves as an intrinsic driver for promoting private enterprises to actively fulfill their local social responsibilities. However, existing literature seldom addresses this phenomenon and its underlying deeper logic. Drawing on fundamental theoretical frameworks of corporate culture and strategic management, this paper investigates the impact of “Harmony-Cooperation” culture on private enterprises’ performance of local corporate social responsibility. Using a sample of Chinese A-share listed private enterprises from 2007 to 2021, the empirical research demonstrates that “ Harmony-Cooperation” culture significantly promotes the fulfillment of local social responsibilities by private enterprises. This positive effect is particularly more significant when conditioned by a high level of marketization in the corporate registration location and the local executive appointment. Further analysis reveals that the influence of “Harmony-Cooperation” culture is stronger in enterprises located in regions with a more pronounced Confucian cultural atmosphere. Geographically, the impact is most significant in the eastern region, while it is relatively weaker in the central and western regions. In the eastern region, the fulfillment of local social responsibilities by private enterprise is jointly influenced by both “Harmony” and “Cooperation” cultures. By contrast, the central region is more influenced by “Cooperation” culture, while the western region is more influenced by “Harmony” culture. This study organically integrates corporate “Harmony-Cooperation” culture with strategic decisions regarding local social responsibility fulfillment by private enterprises. It expands the theoretical understanding of corporate culture and corporate local social responsibility, contributing positively to accelerating the development of core research topics in Chinese-style management with distinctive Chinese characteristics and theoretical value.
