Abundant studies have been made around the impact of environmental management on economic performance in business, but there is still no consistent conclusion. This study focuses on labor productivity as a measure of economic performance. We argue that environmental management has a negative impact on the labor productivity of company in the special context of Chinese increasingly stringent environmental regulations, but this impact is moderated by quality management. Environmental management score and the years that companies have passed ISO 9001 are set as proxies for independent and moderating variable respectively. A sample including 229 Chinese listed companies is used to test the hypotheses by multiple regression analysis. Results show that environmental management has a negative impact on labor productivity, and quality management moderates the relationship.
大量研究已经探讨了环境管理对企业经济绩效的影响，但仍没有一致的结论。本研究以劳动生产率作为经济绩效的衡量标准。我们认为，在环境法规日益严格的特殊背景下，环境管理对公司的劳动生产率有负面影响，但这种影响受到质量管理的调节。环境管理得分和公司通过 ISO 9001 的年限分别作为自变量和调节变量的代理变量。通过多元回归分析，使用包含 229 家中国上市公司的样本对假设进行了检验。结果表明，环境管理对劳动生产率有负向影响，而质量管理则调节了这种关系。
