Abstract

ABSTRACT Since 2012, a large-scale Party branches building campaign intending to regain political influence in the private sector has been sweepingly promoted. Drawing on the Chinese Private Enterprise Survey conducted in 2008, 2012, and 2018, this study investigates private enterprises’ strategies in response to the intensified political pressure by integrating socioemotional wealth theory and neo-institutional theory. It is found that (1) private enterprises with high family ownership tend not to establish Party branches until political pressure is very high; (2) enterprises with high family ownership are more likely to adopt a decoupling strategy of evading the Party's political and social goals; and (3) the owners’ perceptions of a better market and legal environment weaken the negative effect of family ownership on the establishment of Party branches. These results reveal the key logic of preserving the socioemotional wealth and ‘embedded agency’ of Chinese private enterprises when they confront institutional legitimacy mandates. This study also sheds new light on the causes of the decoupling phenomenon and the dynamic interactions between institutional environment and organizational behaviors. 摘要 2012年以来,中国共产党为了获得在私营部门的政治影响,开展了大规模的私营企业党建运动。在这一背景下,我们整合了社会情感财富理论和新制度主义理论,探讨了私营企业在应对加剧的政治压力时所采取的策略。对2008、2012和2018年中国私营企业调查数据(CPES)进行分析之后,我们发现:家族所有权程度与其党建活动密切相关,表现在(1)所有权越高,建立党支部需要越大的政治压力;(2)所有权越高,越可能采取脱耦策略来逃避政治目标。但是,结果也表明,企业家对市场和法律环境的正面感知可以减弱家族所有权对党建的负面影响。本研究的结果对于理解组织脱耦现象的成因,以及组织行为与制度环境的动态互动关系有新的启示。
在合法性与社会运动财富之间——家族制与中国民营企业党支部建设
自2012年以来,一场旨在重新获得在私营部门政治影响力的大规模党支部建设运动得到了全面推进。本研究以2008年、2012年和2018年的《中国民营企业调查》为基础,结合社会情感财富理论和新制度理论,探讨民营企业应对政治压力的策略。研究发现:(1)家族所有制程度较高的民营企业往往在政治压力很大的情况下才会建立党支部;(2)家族所有制程度高的企业更有可能采取规避党的政治和社会目标的脱钩策略;(3)业主对更好的市场环境和法制环境的认知减弱了家族所有制对党支部设立的负面影响。这些结果揭示了中国民营企业在面对制度合法性授权时,保留社会情感财富和“嵌入代理”的关键逻辑。该研究还揭示了制度环境与组织行为之间的动态互动关系以及脱钩现象的成因。摘要 2012年以来,中国共产党为了获得在私营部门的政治影响,开展了大规模的私营企业党建运动。在这一背景下,我们整合了社会情感财富理论和新制度主义理论,探讨了私营企业在应对加剧的政治压力时所采取的策略。对2008、2012和2018年中国私营企业调查数据(cp)进行分析之后,我们发现:家族所有权程度与其党建活动密切相关,表现在(1)所有权越高,建立党支部需要越大的政治压力;(2)所有权越高,越可能采取脱耦策略来逃避政治目标。但是,结果也表明,企业家对市场和法律环境的正面感知可以减弱家族所有权对党建的负面影响。本研究的结果对于理解组织脱耦现象的成因,以及组织行为与制度环境的动态互动关系有新的启示。
