Description
Huan Shu and Jingyi Duan study social responsibility in China's construction industry in a 2023 paper. They ask whether meeting duties to shareholders and employees helps or hurts the industry's competitiveness, and whether day-to-day operations management carries that effect. Their data cover the construction industry in twelve provinces from 2015 to 2020.
They found a curved pattern: overall responsibility first raised competitiveness, then lowered it past a point. Duties to shareholders followed the same curve, while duties to employees showed the reverse curve. Responsibility also shaped operations management, which itself raised competitiveness and carried part of the link. The findings give managers a more nuanced view than a simple claim that doing good always pays.
