摘要

本研究调查了先前文献中关于企业绩效的问题在应用ESG实践时是否仍然存在。文献综述确定了252种影响,随后进行了亚组分析的荟萃分析。利用锁定理论和企业声誉理论来理解这种关系。锁定视角允许对作者在衡量ESG实践方面的决策进行更深入的评估。另一方面,企业声誉侧重于在采用ESG实践时积极的利益相关者感知的重要性。分析显示,ESG实践与企业绩效之间存在统计学上显著的关系,表明效应大小较弱。亚组分析显示,社会和治理实践具有积极作用,突出表明许多研究仍然使用企业社会责任(CSR)作为ESG的代理。当我们发现财务绩效没有表现出显著性时,我们证实了这一假设,这与过去文献讨论的关于企业社会责任与财务绩效之间权衡的问题相同。此外,我们证实了之前的假设,即尽管对财务绩效没有显著影响,但环境、ESG风险和创新绩效得到了改善。其他结果表明,国家经济和公司规模等调节因素影响了结果。这些发现证明,学术界目前在ESG实证研究中面临锁定效应,因为他们在研究中将企业社会责任和ESG视为同义词。我们发现,本研究的大部分效应与过去的CSR文献相似,这使得作者在实证研究中仍然没有发现财务绩效和其他绩效指标与ESG实践之间的正相关关系,其他绩效指标与ESG实践之间的关系也很弱。

The Lock-In Effect on ESG and Business Performance Relationship: A Critical Examination and Meta-Analysis

The Lock-In Effect on ESG and Business Performance Relationship: A Critical Examination and Meta-Analysis

This study investigates whether the issues previously addressed in the literature regarding business performance persist when applying ESG practices. A literature review identified 252 effects, followed by a meta-analysis with subgroup analysis. The lock-in theory and corporate reputation were employed to understand this relationship. The lock-in view allows a deeper assessment of the authors' decisions on measuring ESG practices. On the other hand, corporate reputation focuses on the importance of positive stakeholder perception when adopting ESG practices. The analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between ESG practices and business performance, demonstrating a weak effect size. Subgroup analysis showed that social and governance practices have positive effects, highlighting that many studies still use corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a proxy for ESG. We confirm this assumption when we find that financial performance did not show significance, which is the same problem that past literature discussed regarding the trade-off between CSR and financial performance. In addition, we confirm previous assumptions that despite having no significant effect on financial performance, environmental, ESG risk, and innovation performance are improved. Other outcomes show that moderators such as the country's economy and company size influenced the results. These findings proved that academics currently face a lock-in effect on ESG empirical research because they measure CSR and ESG as synonyms in their studies. We showed that most of the effects in this study are like past CSR literature, making authors still find no positive association in financial performance and weak relationships between other performance indicators and ESG practices in their empirical research.
