摘要

环境、社会和治理（ESG）绩效正在演变为评估企业社会贡献和可持续发展的指标。数字技术的发展和部署使中国高铁行业更加智能化，但数字化转型是否以及如何影响ESG绩效仍有待研究。基于中国高铁行业上市公司数据和双向固定效应估计，实证评估了数字化转型对高铁行业环境、社会和治理绩效的异质性影响，厘清了影响机制和异质性。实证结果证实，数字化转型显著提高了中国高铁行业的环境绩效和社会绩效，但对治理绩效的影响不显著。绿色技术创新和金融约束分别起到中介作用。此外，数字化转型培育了民营企业的环境和社会绩效，但对国有企业的环境和社会绩效没有显著影响。此外，民营企业的数字化转型与治理绩效之间存在显著的正相关关系，而国有企业的数字化转型与治理绩效之间存在负相关关系。基于注意力理论，本研究发现数字化转型可能导致国有企业管理者信息超载，从而损害治理绩效。

Greening the future via digitalization: Pro-environmental behaviors of the Chinese high-speed train industry in the digital context

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance is evolving into a metric for assessing corporate social contribution and sustainable development. The development and deployment of digital technologies make the Chinese high-speed train industry more intelligent, but whether and how digital transformation affects the ESG performance remains underdeveloped. Based on the data of listed companies in Chinese high-speed train industry and two-way fixed effects estimations, this study empirically evaluates the heterogeneous impacts of digital transformation on the environmental, social, and governance performance, and clarifies the underlying mechanisms and heterogeneity. The empirical results confirm that digital transformation significantly improves the environmental and social performance of Chinese high-speed train industry, while its impact on governance performance is not significant. Green technological innovation and financial constraint play the mediating role, respectively. Besides, digital transformation nurtures the environmental and social performance of private-owned enterprises, but has no significant impact on that of state-owned enterprises. Additionally, there is a significantly positive correlation between digital transformation and governance performance of private-owned enterprises, but the negative results are observed in the sample of state-owned enterprises. Based on attention theory, this study finds that digital transformation may lead to information overload among state-owned enterprise managers, thereby damaging governance performance.

期刊介绍： Research in Transportation Business & Management (RTBM) will publish research on international aspects of transport management such as business strategy, communication, sustainability, finance, human resource management, law, logistics, marketing, franchising, privatisation and commercialisation. Research in Transportation Business & Management welcomes proposals for themed volumes from scholars in management, in relation to all modes of transport. Issues should be cross-disciplinary for one mode or single-disciplinary for all modes. We are keen to receive proposals that combine and integrate theories and concepts that are taken from or can be traced to origins in different disciplines or lessons learned from different modes and approaches to the topic. By facilitating the development of interdisciplinary or intermodal concepts, theories and ideas, and by synthesizing these for the journal''s audience, we seek to contribute to both scholarly advancement of knowledge and the state of managerial practice. Potential volume themes include: -Sustainability and Transportation Management- Transport Management and the Reduction of Transport''s Carbon Footprint- Marketing Transport/Branding Transportation- Benchmarking, Performance Measurement and Best Practices in Transport Operations- Franchising, Concessions and Alternate Governance Mechanisms for Transport Organisations- Logistics and the Integration of Transportation into Freight Supply Chains- Risk Management (or Asset Management or Transportation Finance or ...): Lessons from Multiple Modes- Engaging the Stakeholder in Transportation Governance- Reliability in the Freight Sector
