摘要

本文分析了森林认证标准对企业管理和市场绩效的影响,以区分内部(道德和学习)和外部(市场和信号)动力源的影响。为此,本文提出了三个命题,并以获得森林认证认可计划(PEFC)认证的西班牙公司为样本进行了实证检验。在结构模型中,外部动机与管理绩效之间的关联没有得到证实,但内部动机之间的关联显著,因内部原因获得认证的公司收益更大。我们的研究结果表明,实施森林认证本身并不会提高整体绩效。此外,当标准是由内部驱动的时候,我们有理由期待企业利用该标准所规定的准则来实施必要的措施,以提高管理绩效。这些研究结果可用于描述认证企业的特点,并预测标准的实施和认证所带来的益处,从而揭示森林认证标准的动机因素与益处之间的关联,而这一领域的研究尚有待深入。

Forest certification and its impact on business management and market performance: The key role of motivations

The impact of forest certification standards on firm management and market performance is analysed in this paper, so as to isolate the influence of internal (moral and learning) and external (market and signalling) sources of motivation. To do so, three propositions are formulated and then empirically tested on a sample of Spanish companies certified by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). In the structural model, the association of the external motivations with management performance was not confirmed, although the one of internal motivations was significant and companies certified due to internal reasons yielded greater benefits. Our results suggested that the implementation of forest certification per se will not improve overall performance. Moreover, when the standard is internally driven, it is reasonable to expect the implementation of the necessary measures to improve management performance, using the guidelines prescribed by such standard. The findings may be used to characterize certified firms and to anticipate the benefits of both the implementation and the certification of the standard, shedding light on the associations between the motivational factors and the benefits of forest certification standards, a field which has yet to be addressed.
