企业社会责任对财务可持续增长的影响研究——基于创业板企业数据

文章选取24家创业板企业连续3年的数据为研究样本,分别从总体社会责任和各利益相关者责任角度对社会责任指标与财务可持续增长指标的关系进行了实证分析。研究发现:企业总体社会责任履行情况与财务可持续增长指标正相关,不显著,而从利益相关者角度来看,只有企业履行对供应商的责任与财务可持续增长指标在5%的水平上显著正相关,其他利益相关者责任与其财务可持续增长指标无显著相关性。这种结果可能与创业板企业所处的发展阶段以及自身的发展状况有关,建议创业板企业履行社会责任要量力而行,各个利益相关者对企业的期望要符合企业的实际发展情况。     

企业文化与企业社会责任的关系研究——基于案例研究方法

随着社会对企业社会责任的关注不断增加，企业文化与企业社会责任的关系越来越受到学者的关注。本文通过案例研究方法分析了企业文化的两种类型——宗族型和灵活型对企业社会责任四个维度的影响。研究得出，宗族型企业文化对企业社会责任的各维度均存在正相关关系，而灵活型企业文化对企业社会责任的三个维度存在正相关关系，但对企业对债权人、股东和管理者责任的维度不存在正相关关系。本文研究对如何塑造企业文化从而更好地履行企业社会责任具有一定的实践启示。     

企业社会责任对财务绩效影响研究——以食品药品业上市公司为例

本文以2008-2016年A股上市公司中的359家食品药品制造业为研究对象,基于利益相关者理论,研究这一关乎国计民生的行业履行社会责任对其财务绩效的影响。研究发现:食品药品业积极履行对股东、员工、顾客、债权人、供应商、政府的社会责任会促进企业财务绩效的提升,但履行对公众的社会责任会对企业财务绩效产生不利影响;进一步研究发现,非国有企业对顾客、供应商、政府、员工履行社会责任会更显著的促进企业财务绩效提升;国有企业对债权人、公众的社会责任履行会更显著的促进企业财务绩效提升;对股东的社会责任履行状况受企业性质影响较小,仍能提升财务绩效。

企业社会责任与公司价值关系的实证研究

文章运用普通最小二乘法(OLS)对2010—2014年沪深A股市场公司组合的混合面板数据进行回归分析,研究各个维度的企业社会责任对企业价值的影响。结果表明:企业积极履行对债权人、消费者和政府的社会责任有助于企业价值的提升,但是履行对社会公众、企业员工以及股东的企业社会责任对企业价值的影响并不显著。     

基于企业社会责任履行程度下的审计收费研究

以2014年A股上市公司的数据为样本,研究企业社会责任履行程度对审计收费的影响,并分析经鉴证的责任报告能否调节企业社会责任履行程度与审计收费之间的影响关系。经过研究发现,企业社会责任履行程度能够显著影响审计收费,但责任报告的鉴证并没有显著地影响社会责任与审计收费之间的关系,而且还发现企业对股东、债权人、政府以及消费者责任履行情况是影响审计收费的关键。因此研究提出注册会计师在接受审计业务时,要注意企业社会责任的履行情况,并且要加强关注企业对股东、债权人、政府、消费者责任的履行情况,以评估企业所面临的经营风险并对不可控风险作出收费补偿。     

商业银行社会责任对财务绩效影响研究

文章以利益相关者理论为基础,结合我国商业银行的经营特点和实际情况,建立起针对我国商业银行的社会责任指标体系,并在此基础上实证检验了我国商业银行履行社会责任对财务绩效的影响。研究证实:商业银行履行社会责任会增加财务绩效。其中,对股东、员工和社区的责任对其财务绩效会产生显著的积极影响;对存款人、贷款人和政府的责任对其财务绩效的影响为负,但只有对政府的责任是显著的。研究结论为我国商业银行更好地承担社会责任提供了理论依据和现实指导。

Development in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Statistics at the Australian Bureau of Statistics

This paper outlines the ICT statistical developments that the ABS has undertaken over recent years. These developments have been on both the supply side (ICT industry) and the demand side (use of IT by sector). The content of ABS ICT surveys has changed significantly over the last few years and are expected to develop further in line with industry changes and emerging policy needs.
Recent developments in household collections have been the inclusion of IT use questions in the 2001 Census of Population and Housing and in various ABS social surveys such as Children's Participation in Culture and Leisure Activities. Annual business IT use surveys are now conducted and include topics such as Internet commerce and IT security. Biennial ICT industry surveys are conducted to provide data on ICT production, imports and exports, ICT industry employment, performance and structure information. An Internet activity survey is run every six months and provides regional Internet access details and infrastructure details on Internet service providers.
A major development for 2002–03 will be the compilation of an ICT satellite account. ABS intends to produce an ICT Information Development Plan to guide its future statistical development work in the ICT field.     

Value at Risk in the Suburbs: Eminent Domain and the Geographical Politics of the US Foreclosure Crisis

Several US counties and local governments have recently considered a novel solution to the foreclosure crisis. They plan to use eminent domain to compel the owners of mortgage debt—and specifically of private‐label mortgage‐backed securities—to sell the debt to the government at a price reflecting the loan's market value. The government would then restructure the debt and resell it to new investors. The plans are striking because—in contrast to both development‐driven eminent domain and the federal subprime bank bailout—they would force investors to assume asset devaluation and increased long‐term risk. Notably, the plans have emerged as an instance of financialization‐focused politics in suburbs and suburban cities of color, specifically majority‐black and ‐Latino/a suburbs. Local support for the plans, we argue, is rooted in the long‐term disinvestment of these ‘suburbs of exception', which became targets of subprime lending and eventually sites where the ‘financial exception' has been localized. But these demographic shifts, fragmentation and fiscal pressures have at the same time created a suburban political terrain in which the plans have gained their strongest political support.     

Towards a Theory of Serendipity: A Systematic Review and Conceptualization

Serendipity – the notion of making surprising and valuable discoveries – plays a major role in the success of individuals and organizations alike. Previous research has established the importance of serendipity and identified important individual- and organizational-level antecedents. However, the literature has been dispersed and the boundaries of the concept have been blurry, leading to a lack of conceptual clarity and structure, and thus limiting validity and managerial actionability. Based on a systematic literature review, I synthesize existing management-related research on serendipity and explicate the emergence and composition of serendipity in the organizational context. I first identify three necessary conditions that differentiate serendipity from related concepts such as luck or targeted innovation: agency, surprise, and value. Then, I draw from the literature on sensemaking, event-based theorizing, and quantum-based approaches to management to conceptualize the process of cultivating serendipity in the organizational context as a process of enabling potentiality and materialization, and develop a multi-level theory of (cultivating) serendipity. This conceptualization contributes to our collective understanding of how, why, and when (i.e., under what conditions) organizations can leverage the value in the unexpected, which opens up fruitful avenues for further research.     

Accountability of NGOs in Bangladesh A critical overview

NGOs in Bangladesh have been recognized as effective change agents in the socio-economic arena throughout the world. Their contributions in micro credit, non-formal education and primary health care are widely known. NGOs play a significant role in society. NGO accountability, as a result, has become a critical issue. NGO accountability in Bangladesh has been examined here in relation to patrons, clients and themselves. Of the three relationships only accountability to patrons is in a near satisfactory state. Accountability to clients is handicapped by lack of opportunities of beneficiaries to participate meaningfully in NGO policy making. Accountability to themselves is adversely affected due to the adherence to a strictly hierarchical system and the influence of founding and charismatic NGO leaders.     

Towards an Asian model of human resource management? A comparative analysis of China,Japan and South Korea

There has been much discussion regarding the possible decline and weakening of national systems of human resource management (HRM). Yet, culture and institutions are often cited as the major stumbling blocks to this outcome. Such constraints may dissipate in the analysis, particularly if ‘regional clusters’ are considered where geographic and cultural closeness and ‘openness’ to similar economic pressures exist. In such cases, it might be postulated that convergence in HRM will occur. We argue that China, Japan and South Korea represent such a cluster. This article examines these countries, to see if a degree of convergence is taking place and if it is towards an identifiable ‘Asian’ model of HRM. A model of change is presented that distinguishes between levels of occurrence and acceptance. Details of the development and practice of HRM in each country are then set out. The article ends with a discussion and implications section and a brief conclusion.     

The Creation of the Office for National Statistics

A new Office for National Statistics was created in the United Kingdom in 1996 following a series of developments designed to strengthen the relevance and integrity of statistics. This paper describes these fundamental changes and sets out a blueprint for future progress. It also sets current developments in the United Kingdom in an historical and international context.     

What helps? Women engineers' accounts of staying on

We have considerable understanding of the obstacles that women engineers encounter and the reasons that they leave the field, but we know less about what enables them to remain. Adopting an interpretivist approach, this article examines how a group of British women engineers in two FTSE 100 companies account for “staying on” in their male‐dominated work settings. We delineate four specific forms of help that facilitate women's retention in the field. We argue that exposure to help leads to women developing a habitus that enables them to continue working in engineering. To conclude, we draw on our findings to outline HR practices that will facilitate supportive relationships in the workplace and pave the way towards developing more positive organisational climates.
