摘要

本文旨在调查跨国企业(MNEs)在新兴经济体中是否比当地企业更容易侵犯其员工的人权,区域制度压力是否会影响侵犯员工人权的可能性,以及一个地区的跨国公司密度是否会影响当地公司侵犯员工人权的可能性。设计/方法/方法基于新制度理论,本文假设,在新兴经济体中,跨国公司侵犯员工人权的行为明显少于当地公司。此外,假设区域制度的质量只影响当地企业对其员工的社会行为。此外,假设一个地区的跨国公司密度对当地公司对员工人权的态度有积极影响。这些假设是使用2005年至2014年期间在墨西哥32个地区进行的1,211,638个调查年观察样本进行检验的。研究结果:与本土企业相比,跨国公司侵犯员工人权的可能性更小。它还提供了证据表明,区域机构并不影响跨国公司对员工侵犯人权的行为,但会影响当地公司。此外,与假设相反,一个地区跨国公司的密度对当地公司尊重雇员人权的影响是消极的,而不是积极的。原创性/价值本文促进了对新兴经济体背景下跨国公司行为的理解,并有助于文献中关于其社会影响的持续辩论。

Multinational enterprises, local firms, and employee human rights violation in the workplace
Purpose This paper aims to investigate whether multinational enterprises (MNEs) are more or less likely than local firms to violate their employees’ human rights in emerging economies, whether regional institutional pressures influence the likelihood of violating employee human rights and whether the density of MNEs in a region affects the likelihood of employees’ human rights violation by local firms. Design/methodology/approach Building on neo-institutional theory, this paper hypothesizes that, in an emerging economy, MNEs violate their employees’ human rights significantly less than local firms do. Moreover, it is hypothesized that the quality of regional institutions only influences the social behavior of local firms toward their employees. In addition, it is hypothesized that the density of MNEs in a region has a positive effect on local firms’ attitudes toward employee human rights. These hypotheses are examined using a sample of 1,211,638 respondent–year observations in 32 Mexican regions between 2005 and 2014. Findings This paper shows that MNEs are less likely to violate their employees’ human rights than local firms are. It also provides evidence that regional institutions do not influence MNE behavior toward employee human rights violation, but affect local firms. Furthermore, contrary to what was hypothesized, the density of MNEs in a region has a negative rather than positive influence on local firms’ respect of employee human rights. Originality/value This paper advances understanding of the behavior of MNEs in an emerging economy setting and contributes to the ongoing debate in the literature on their social impact.
