摘要

以往的研究表明,缺乏对不同规模企业亲环境行为采用情况的分析。非常小的企业,特别是非正规部门的企业,在文献中一直被忽视,尽管它们在大多数国家占多数。本文旨在考察喀麦隆企业规模对亲环境行为采用的影响。该分析的重点是来自喀麦隆第二次企业普查(RGE-2)的141,926家公司的样本(NIS, 2018)。本研究采用了基于logit模型的统计计量方法。结果表明,企业规模越大,企业对亲环境行为的接受程度越高。拥有健康、安全、环境体系的可能性,大企业为16.70分,中小企业为8.40分。大型企业拥有废水管理系统的可能性增加5.30个百分点,而小型企业则增加2.30个百分点。大型企业拥有空气污染管理系统的可能性增加2.20分,而小型企业则增加1.50分。然而,公司规模并不显著影响固体废物管理系统的采用。建议(一)提高大公司对环境保护挑战的认识,加强对遵守环境标准的管制,以及(二)执行旨在使公司从非正规部门转到正规部门的行动。

Firm size and pro-environmental behavior in Cameroon
Previous studies indicate a lack of analysis of pro-environmental behavior adoption in enterprises of various sizes. Very small enterprises, especially in the informal sector, have always been overlooked in the literature, although they are in the majority in most countries. This paper aims to examine the effects of firm size on pro-environmental behavior adoption in Cameroon. The analysis focuses on a sample of 141,926 firms drawn from the Second General Census of Enterprises (RGE-2) in Cameroon (NIS, 2018). The study adopted a statistical and econometrical approach based on the logit model. The results showed that the adoption of pro-environmental behavior increases with firm size. The probability of having a health, safety, and environment system increases by 16.70 points in large enterprises compared to 8.40 points in small enterprises. The probability of having a wastewater management system increases by 5.30 points in large enterprises compared to 2.30 points in small enterprises. The probability of having an air pollution management system increases by 2.20 points in large enterprises compared to 1.50 points in small enterprises. However, company size does not significantly influence the adoption of a solid waste management system. It is recommended to (i) raise awareness among large companies of the challenges of environmental protection and to strengthen controls on compliance with environmental standards, and (ii) to implement actions aimed at the migration of companies from the informal to the formal sector.
