The Empirical Study On Low-carbon Production Motivation And Behavior Of High Carbon-emission Enterprises

The CPC definitely indicates that our country should promote the green development, circular development and low-carbon development in the report of the 18 National Congress of Communist Party of China, so promoting low-carbon economy system innovation with characteristics becomes our inevitable choice of developing economy in the current environment and common goal of realizing China’s Dream. Industrial companies which is the main body of carbon emission in our country is the main force of low-carbon economy development, high carbon-emission enterprises which is dominant industry in our national economy urgently need to solve the important problem that how to develop low-carbon economy in a larger scale, in a wider broader and on higher administrative levels. So to research into high carbon-emission enterprises’ low-carbon production motivation and behavior can has very strong theoretical and practical significance.The anthor takes low-carbon production motivation and behavior of high carbon-emission enterprises as research target, the main contents are as following:(1) Conceptual model of low-carbon production motivation and behavior of high carbon-emission enterprises is constructed. First operational variables of enterprises characteristics, motivation and behavior are designed, the theories and the results of in-depth interviews of some representative high carbon-emission enterprises are analyzed, then influencing factors of low-carbon production motivation of high carbon-emission enterprises are determined, finally theoretical model and hypothesis are proposed.(2) The questionnaire was designed, and empirical analysis was applied. Analysis approaches such as factor analysis, correlation analysis, regression analysis and one-way ANOVA were adopted to do quantitative and qualitative researches according to data from questionnaire, influence degree of coexistence dimensions of individual motivation on low-carbon production behavior of high carbon-emission enterprises was obtained, the theoretical hypotheses were tested.All research above can reveal the following findings:(1) Different enterprises’ characteristics have distinguished difference in low-carbon production motivation.(2) Low-carbon production motivation influences low-carbon production behavior.(3) The motive of satisfying government supervision, the motive of enhancing low-carbon competitiveness, the motive of satisfying society supervision and the motive of performing social responsibility of enterprises protecting environment influence low-carbon production behavior of high carbon-emission enterprises greatly. And the weights they play in the procedure coincide with the sequence :satisfying government supervision, enhancing low-carbon competitiveness, satisfying society supervision and performing social responsibility of enterprises protecting environment. According to the above conclusion, some policies and suggestions have been proposed to promote high carbon-emission enterprises to perform low-carbon production.
