党建活动、非认知能力与经济绩效 ——来自国有企业的新人力资本证据

On Party-Building Activities, Non-cognitive Abilities, and Economic Performance ——A Study Based on Data from State-owned Enterprises

摘要:

在经济进入高质量发展的新阶段，已有相当多的文献研究了党建活动对经济主体的积极作用。但是，对于党建活动产生积极经济效应的作用机制和传导路径仍然存在较多争议和探讨空间。本研究在新人力资本框架下结合闲暇时间配置解析了党建活动对经济绩效的作用机制，为相关研究提供了新证据。研究发现：国有企业内的党建活动显著提升了员工的工作绩效，在构建“虚拟朋友圈”进行内生性检验后该结论依然成立。进一步分析揭示，党建活动主要靠提升员工在闲暇时间配置内的非认知能力来提高工作绩效。具体而言，党建活动可显著提升员工在严谨性和宜人性方面的非认知能力以促进工作绩效。本研究为党建活动如何更新人力资本、改善企业绩效提供了中国国情下的积极证据和选择依据。

Abstract:

In the new stage of high-quality economic development, considerable studies have been conducted on the positive effects of party-building activities on economic entities. However, the mechanism and path transmission of the positive economic effects of party-building activities are still subject to controversy and exploration. This study, based on a new human capital framework, analyzes the mechanism of the impact of party-building activities on economic performance through the allocation of leisure time. The study fi nds that party-building activities within enterprises signifi cantly enhance employees' job performance, and this conclusion still holds after conducting endogenous tests by constructing a "virtual friend circle". Further analysis reveals that party-building activities primarily enhance employees' non-cognitive abilities within leisure time allocation, specifically improving their conscientiousness and agreeableness, thereby enhancing their job performance. This study, thus, provides positive evidence and a basis for decision-making on how party-building activities can enhance the human capital and improve corporate performance in the context of China's national conditions.
