| As China enters the "new normal" period of economic structural transformation,Chinese enterprises are under more pressure from the state and the market in the field of corporate social responsibility.However,in the field of labor rights protection,Chinese enterprises generally reduce the labor costs and evade labor responsibilities through the abuse of temporary employment,so it is necessary to explore the background factors behind the behavioral strategy and the impact on corporate performance.Based on the theory of institutional logics,this paper explores the historical and realistic situation of China,examines the two leading institutional logics of Chinese society,the logic of the market and the logic of state of authoritarianism,discusses the response strategies of the enterprise to the institutional logics,analyzes the relationship between institutional logics,temporary employment behavior and firm performance.This paper is divided into two parts: the first part is the historical comparative study,which analysis of the characteristics of the Chinese traditional institutional logics,and the institutional changes since the founding of New China and since the reform and opening up,so as to sort out the main features of institutional logics in Chinese context;the second part is the empirical study,examines the impact of institutional logics on the scale of temporary employment and corporate performance by using the World Bank China-Enterprise Survey Data in 2012.The results show that:(1)the logic of the market has a positive impact on the temporary employment behavior,and has a negative impact on the annual corporate performance;(2)the logic of state of authoritarianism has a positive and negative impact on the temporary employment behavior;(3)the scale of temporary employment plays a part of the mediating role between the institutional logics and the annual corporate performance,which has a negative effect on the annual corporate performance;(4)the ownership,the area,the city,Industry and firm size have moderating effect between institutional logics and temporary employment.The results of this paper are of great significance to the theory and practice,especially from the perspective of institutional logics to examine the relationship between corporate behaviorstrategy and corporate performance,and deeply reveal the impact of institutional complexity on enterprise management decision in China’s context.In addition,under the framework of institutional logics,it is also a new exploration and enrichment to integrate the macro-level dominant logics,the complexity of the field-level and the perception and response strategies of organizational level. |
