Research on the Influence of Social Responsibility Information Disclosure Quality on Corporate Performance
Abstract:
With the maturity of China's market economy, stakeholders are paying more and more attention to enterprises. In addition, with the continuous expansion of enterprise scale, enterprises are not only to meet the profit acquisition, but also to rise to the level of corporate social responsibility. In recent years, the quality of social responsibility information disclosure has become the focus of public attention. However, due to the lack of relevant laws and regulations and strong supervision, the quality of social responsibility information disclosure of listed enterprises in China is generally poor. How to stimulate the internal motivation of companies to disclose social responsibility information, strengthen the guidance of companies to disclose behavior, increase the supply of adequate, accurate and timely information, and solve the development problems faced by companies? Has become the capital market steady and sustainable development of the only way. Under the strategic goal of promoting common prosperity in China, it is necessary for enterprises, as social organizations, to clarify the internal relationship between the quality of social responsibility information disclosure and corporate performance. Therefore, this paper studies the relationship between the quality of social responsibility information disclosure and corporate performance, and discusses the relationship and mechanism between them.
At present, the academic research results on the relationship between the quality of social responsibility information disclosure and corporate performance are not uniform. Most scholars believe that there is a positive correlation between the two, while some scholars show a negative correlation or no correlation between the two. At the same time, whether there is a neglected dimension of research on the relationship between the quality of social responsibility information disclosure and corporate performance, and what factors in the process of the impact of the quality of social responsibility information disclosure on corporate performance will have an impact on this process. The difference between scholars on the same issue boils down to the fact that most researches stay on the direct discussion of the relationship between the two and ignore the internal and external mechanism of the influence of the quality of social responsibility information disclosure on corporate performance. Only by opening the black box of the relationship between the two and clarifying how the quality of social responsibility information disclosure affects enterprise performance can we give a convincing explanation to the inconsistent arguments of the current academic circle on this issue.
Based on the above analysis, previous studies are sorted out. Based on stakeholder theory, signal transmission theory, information asymmetry theory and social capital theory, this study explores the direct mechanism of the impact of the quality of social responsibility information disclosure on corporate performance. On this basis, the mediating role of social capital is studied. At the same time, the mediating mechanism of marketization process and internal control and the mediating mechanism containing regulation are further explored, and the boundary issue of the influence of the quality of social responsibility information disclosure on enterprise performance is explored. Based on the panel data of A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2011 to 2020, this paper adopts the empirical research method and uses stata to test the model empirically. The results show that enterprises can improve their performance by disclosing high quality social responsibility information. Social capital plays an intermediary role between the quality of social responsibility information disclosure and corporate performance. By disclosing high-quality social responsibility information, enterprises can obtain more social capital to better promote the improvement of corporate performance. The marketization process has a positive moderating effect on the relationship between the quality of social responsibility information disclosure and corporate performance, as well as a positive moderating effect on the first half of the mediating effect and a positive moderating effect on the mediating effect. In regions with high marketization process, social capital plays a stronger mediating role in the process of the quality of social responsibility information disclosure affecting corporate performance. Internal control plays a positive role in regulating the relationship between the quality of social responsibility information disclosure and corporate performance. The research conclusion can help enterprises further understand the importance of the quality of social responsibility information disclosure, which is conducive to the sustainable development of enterprises and the improvement of corporate performance.
Based on the advanced experience of academic research, according to the research conclusion of this paper, researchers should strengthen the academic research on the impact of the quality of social responsibility information disclosure on corporate performance, so as to make more theoretical contributions for corporate managers to improve the quality of social responsibility information disclosure and corporate performance. Enterprises should enhance the quality of social responsibility information disclosure, optimize enterprise management and improve enterprise performance; The government should strengthen macro-control and promote the improvement and operation of relevant laws and regulations.
