摘要

本研究以2002年至2019年的美国公司为样本，考察了企业社会责任对员工（WS）对企业创新的影响。它提供了第一个证据，证明更好的WS对企业有利，导致专利数量和质量的显著增加。创新能力对创新的正向影响在研发强度高的成长型企业中更为显著，而在成熟型企业中相对较弱。本研究还探讨了WS在不同条件下如何影响创新产出，并强调了公司治理机制的调节作用，特别是公司治理得分、董事会性别多样性和审计师独立性。因此，企业既要提高内部治理质量，又要提高WS进行创新。

Does CSR toward employees promote corporate innovation?

This study examined the impact of CSR toward employees (WS) on corporate innovation, using a sample of U.S. firms from 2002 to 2019. It provides the first evidence that better WS is beneficial for firms, resulting in a significant increase in both the quantity and the quality of patents. The positive impact of WS on innovation is more substantial in high R&D intensity and growing firms, while it is relatively weaker for mature firms. The study also explores how WS affects innovation output under various conditions and highlights the moderating role of corporate governance mechanisms, specifically the corporate governance score, board gender diversity, and auditor independence. Therefore, firms should enhance both their internal governance quality and WS to innovate.
