新时期员工持股计划:止步还是前行

新时期员工持股计划对于改善公司治理水平,通过资本市场实现社会资金的优化配置具有重要意义。然而,近期部分公司在宣布推出员工持股计划后又迅速退出。以2014年7月到2016年3月沪深A股上市公司为样本,使用事件研究法检验了新时期员工持股计划的公告效应。研究发现,在员工持股计划发布后市场给予了正向反应,投资者认为在目前的市场环境下,员工持股计划的推出能够实现员工收益和公司价值的共同增长。检验了不同持股比例、非管理层持股和不同股票来源对于员工持股计划公告效应的影响,发现在员工持股比例较高和非管理层持股比例较高的情况下,市场并未给予更高的回应;而投资者对于股票来源不同的员工持股计划有着理性的认知。
