Abstract

This article analyses the relationship between community pressure, regulatory pressure and corporate environmental performance. Using a sample of 2192 firm-year observations in environmentally sensitive industries for the period 2007–2012, we find that increased community pressure is negatively associated with corporate pollution levels and thus positively associated with corporate environmental performance. Furthermore, intensified community pressure can strengthen regulatory enforcement, but it cannot increase the size of the government subsidy allotted to environmental issues. Finally, regulatory enforcement partly mediates the relationship between community pressure and environmental performance. This study contributes to the understanding of firms’ environmental management and the interaction of community and regulatory pressure. JEL Classification: G38, M41, Q53, Q56

社区压力、监管压力和企业环境绩效

本文分析了社区压力、监管压力与企业环境绩效之间的关系。通过对2007-2012年期间环境敏感行业2192个企业年度的观察样本，我们发现社区压力的增加与企业污染水平呈负相关，因此与企业环境绩效呈正相关。此外，加强社区压力可以加强监管执行，但不能增加政府对环境问题的补贴规模。最后，监管执行在一定程度上调节了社区压力与环境绩效之间的关系。本研究有助于理解企业的环境管理以及社区和监管压力的相互作用。JEL分类：G38、M41、Q53、Q56

期刊介绍： The objectives of the Australian Journal of Management are to encourage and publish research in the field of management. The terms management and research are both broadly defined. The former includes the management of firms, groups, industries, regulatory bodies, government, and other institutions. The latter encompasses both discipline- and problem-based research. Consistent with the policy, the Australian Journal of Management publishes research in accounting, applied economics, finance, industrial relations, political science, psychology, statistics, and other disciplines, provided the application is to management, as well as research in areas such as marketing, corporate strategy, operations management, organisation development, decision analysis, and other problem-focuses paradigms.
