Directors' and officers' liability insurance, cybersecurity governance, and sustainable development capability of listed companies
Focusing on Chinese non-financial listed companies, this paper systematically examines the interrelationships among directors and officers liability insurance (D&O insurance), cybersecurity governance, and corporate sustainable development capability. The findings indicate that both D&O insurance and cybersecurity governance significantly enhance the sustainable development capability of listed companies. Moreover, a notable interaction effect exists between insurance and cybersecurity governance, where their synergistic impact further strengthens corporate sustainable development capability. Heterogeneity analysis reveals significant differences in the influence of D&O insurance and cybersecurity governance on sustainable development capability across companies with varying levels of board independence. Additionally, mediation effect analysis confirms that digital transformation plays a critical intermediary role in the pathways through which D&O insurance and cybersecurity governance respectively affect corporate sustainable development capability. This study enriches the cross-sectional research on corporate governance and risk management by constructing a “D&O insurance-digital transformation-sustainability” conduction chain, providing an empirical evidence for building a China-specific digital governance systems and corporate resilience.
