摘要: | 近年來,環境保護(Environment, E)、社會責任(Social, S)和公司治理(Governance, G)對全球產業的發展日益重要,企業不應只是追求自身獲利性最大,更需考量永續經營。本研究的主要目的是探討在疫情下環境、社會和公司治理(ESG)對台灣、中國、新加坡、日本以及南韓等亞洲五國半導體產業經營績效的影響。因此,本研究採用縱橫資料之Tobit迴歸模型,研究期間為2013年到2022年,探討環境、社會和公司治理對其經營績效之影響;並進一步分析COVID-19與環境、社會和公司治理之交互作用對其經營績效之影響。實證結果顯示:本研究發現環境保護(E)對企業績效之影響為正向關係不不顯著,社會責任(S)對企業績效為正向顯著關係,公司治理(G)對企業績效為負向不顯著關係。疫情對半導體企業績效為正向顯著影響;然而,不論是環境保護(E)、社會責任(S)、公司治理(G),在疫情下皆無法為企業績效帶來正面的影響。
In recent years, environmental protection (E), social responsibility (S), and corporate governance (G) have become increasingly important to the development of global industries. Consequently, enterprises should seek to maximize their profitability and consider sustainable management. The primary objective of this study is to examine the influence of environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) factors on the performance of semiconductor industries in five Asian countries, including Taiwan, China, Singapore, Japan, and South Korea, in the context of the global pandemic. Consequently, this study employs the Tobit regression model with panel data from 2013 to 2022. The objective is to investigate the impact of ESG on business performance and to analyze the effects of the interaction between the COVID-19 pandemic and ESG on business performance. The empirical results indicate that environmental protection (E) is found to have a positive, insignificant relationship on firm performance, social responsibility (S) is found to have a positive, significant relationship on firm performance, and corporate governance (G) is found to have a negative, insignificant relationship on firm performance. However, regardless of environmental protection (E), social responsibility (S), or corporate governance (G), none of them is found to have a positive effect on firm performance during the epidemic. The analysis indicates that the COVID-19 pandemic positively and significantly affects firm performance. |
