2024-06-302024-06-30421829Intelligent Manufacturing Leads the Green Trend: An Empirical Exploration of Manufacturing Companies Listed on China's Shanghai and Shenzhen A-Share Markets
https://so07.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/JCAS/article/view/5211
<p>In the transformative era of industry driven by intelligent manufacturing, its capacity to shape corporate environmental responsibility stands as a critical concern. This study draws upon a decade of data from manufacturing firms listed on China's Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share markets, encompassing the years 2010 to 2022. Employing a two-way fixed-effects model, an empirical examination is conducted to assess the influence of intelligent manufacturing on investments in corporate environmental governance. The results reveal a significant and positive impact of intelligent manufacturing on the enhancement of corporate environmental governance investment, with the key driver being the increased investment in technological innovation by corporations. To substantiate the robustness of these findings, a series of rigorous checks were applied, encompassing two-stage least squares (2SLS) estimation, propensity score matching (PSM), the lagging of independent variables, and the system generalized method of moments (System GMM). Even amidst these exacting evaluations, the conclusions of the study have proven to be consistently robust. The implications of this research are dual-fold: it offers empirical evidence to guide corporate strategies in the domain of intelligent manufacturing and provides policymakers with a theoretical framework to advocate for industry greening and the formulation of sustainable environmental policies. This study, therefore, contributes to both the corporate strategy discourse and the policy-making arena by providing insights grounded in evidence of the pivotal role intelligent manufacturing plays in advancing environmental stewardship.</p>Linrong WuJianmin Sun

https://so07.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/JCAS/article/view/5214
<p>The study leverages a robust empirical framework, analyzing data from a meticulously curated cohort of 217 Chinese nationality teachers employed at a private university specializing in science and technology. The research sample, characterized by a balanced gender distribution and diverse educational attainment, provides a comprehensive foundation for examining the multifaceted impacts of stress on occupational outcomes. Employing validated instruments such as the Job Stress Scale, Procrastination at Work Scale (PAWS), and the Overall Job Satisfaction measure, this study elucidates the nuanced gender-specific and educational level-based patterns in stress, procrastination, and job satisfaction. The findings reveal significant gender disparities, with males reporting lower job stress but higher procrastination and lower job satisfaction compared to their female counterparts, who exhibit elevated stress yet maintain higher job satisfaction and lower procrastination. Furthermore, the study delineates the correlation between educational attainment and the observed variables, highlighting that higher educational levels correlate with increased job stress but improved procrastination management and sustained high job satisfaction. Through rigorous statistical analyses, including Pearson correlation and regression models, the research substantiates the inverse relationship between workplace stress and both procrastination behavior and job satisfaction, reinforcing the imperative for tailored organizational interventions. This investigation not only contributes to the existing body of knowledge but also underscores the critical need for gender-sensitive and educational level-specific strategies to mitigate workplace stress and enhance job satisfaction, thereby fostering a healthier and more productive academic workforce.</p>Li-Wei Wei

https://so07.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/JCAS/article/view/5215
<p>China adopts presumptive reciprocity as a new principle for its recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. It presumes that China is in reciprocal relationship with foreign state unless being proved, especially by refusal precedent, such foreign state denying that. This principle takes important role in the process of China’s shift from de facto reciprocity to de jure reciprocity. It’s of great value to the judicial efficiency of Chinese courts and overseas protection of China’s creditor. However the specific rule of presumptive reciprocity is still vague and unstipulated in law. This article seeks to suggest rules for the application of this principle, by analysing the relevant theory, China’s judicial practice and issues comprehensively. This article finds the following applicable rules. A prima facie ascertainment shall be applied before use of presumpitve reciprocity in order to exclude those foreign states which are impossible to meet de jure reciprocity. Ascertainment on refusal precedent should be on the basis of that precedent constitutes denial of reciprocal relationship, inequality of reciprocity or review of merits, instead of the mere result of that precedent.</p>Gaoyang Song
