IPO视角下大股东控制权结构对上市公司盈利成长性的影响研究

Description本文基于我国2006-2020年间IPO的上市公司上市当年的样本数据，研究了IPO视角下大股东控制权结构对上市公司盈利成长性的影响效应及影响机制。首先从机理上探讨了大股东控制权结构对上市公司盈利成长性的影响效应、中介机制和调节机制，并相应地构建了本文的三个研究假说。接下来，本文构建了证研究框架，具体包括模型构建、变量选择与数据选取三方面。最后，进行实证分析以验证本文的三个研究假说。通过实证研究，本文发现：首先，大股东控制权结构对上市公司盈利成长性存在显著影响，具体表现为大股东控制权中直接持股比重越高，上市公司盈利成长性则越低；第二，在大股东控制权中直接持股比重对上市公司盈利成长性的负影响中，存在着来自公司主营业务投入的负向中介效应，约占总影响效应的0.162；第三，在大股东控制权中直接持股比重对上市公司盈利成长性的负影响中，还存在着来自公司主营业务利润的负向调节作用，并且在考虑调节作用后，大股东控制权中直接持股比重对上市公司盈利成长性的直接影响不再显著；第四，大股东控制权中直接持股比重对上市公司盈利成长性的影响效应及其具体作用机制主要存在于制造业公司中，而在非制造业公司中并不明显。 最后，基于研究结论，本文从上市公司治理的角度提出两点提升公司盈利成长性的对策建议：一是上市公司尤其是制造业上市公司，在经营管理中应适度引入外部投资机构；二是上市公司在经营管理过程中应注重于主营业务的发展。

This study investigates the impact of a specific organizational form – partnership – on employees’ awareness of risk control and job engagement in securities companies. Given that their organizational performance relies heavily on the performance of individual employees, it is critical for securities companies in China to adopt appropriate organizational forms so that they can better captalize on their employees’ human capital to cope with the increasingly intense market competition. Partnership, as one of the few organizational forms, has been widely adopted in industries that rely on the performance of individuals, such as law, auditing, consulting, and investment banking, around the world. In the context of China’s emerging economy, it has also been adopted as an incentive system by market leaders across several industries, including Alibaba in online shopping, Vanke in real estate, and Fosun in investments. In contrast, partnership has not been adopted or implemented by securities companies in China as most of them are still state-owned enterprises.

Based on my review of the corporate governance literature and qualitative analysis of partnership adoption in China, I propose that partnership can help better alighn the interests of employees with owners in securities companies as well. Specifically, the prospect of becoming a partner in the future can improve employees’ awareness of risk control and increase their job engagement. Taking advantage of partnership adoption at a Chinese securities company as a natural field experienment, I surveyed its employees about their awareness of risk contrl and job dedication before and after the adoption. The results from 505 matched surveys showed an increase in the average scores of both awareness of risk control and job dedication after the company adopted partnership as a new organizational form. Findings of this study have important implications for organizational and incentive design for securities companies in China.
