文摘This study exploits China's"Pilot Program for the Integration of Science and Technology with Finance"as a quasi-natural experiment to investigate the effect of Sci-Tech Finance on corporate financial resilience and its underlying mechanisms.Using panel data of A-share firms listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges from 2000 to 2024 and using a staggered difference-in-differences(DID)model,we find that corporate financial resilience significantly improved after the Sci-Tech Finance policy,as evidenced by reduced earnings volatility and more sustainable profit growth.Heterogeneity analyses show that the effect is more pronounced during periods of high economic policy uncertainty(EPU)and in regions with less developed traditional banking systems.Mechanism analyses suggest that Sci-Tech Finance strengthens firm financial resilience by alleviating financing constraints,mitigating information asymmetry,optimizing investment efficiency,and promoting green innovation.We provide novel evidence on the role of Sci-Tech Finance in stabilizing firm performance and fostering long-term value creation,thereby contributing to the broad literature on high-quality economic development.
文摘The continuous growth in per capita national disposable income has propelled the global cosmetics industry to significant growth over the past decade.Taking Proya Cosmetics Co.,Ltd.as an example,this paper adopts a stakeholder perspective.By selecting financial indicators from Proya’s annual reports from 2017 to 2022,standardizing the data using SPSS software,and applying factor analysis,a series of financial performance evaluation models for Proya were constructed.A total of 15 listed companies in the same industry and Proya’s financial indicators over the past six years were selected for horizontal and vertical comparative analysis and evaluation.The analysis reveals that creditors,employees,and the government are the primary stakeholders influencing Proya’s financial performance.Based on these findings,corresponding strategies are proposed:safeguarding creditor interests from multiple angles;prioritizing value creation to enhance employee satisfaction;and strengthening social responsibility awareness while actively cooperating with government initiatives.

文摘Objectives:Recently,how family-related factors influence employees’mental health has garnered increasing attention from researchers and practitioners.Drawing on the cognitive appraisal theory of stress,this study aims to examine how and when family financial stress affects the employees’mental health and investigate the mediating role of performance stress and the moderating role of workplace competition.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 23,520 Chinese employees by using a voluntary and anonymous structured questionnaire,which included family financial stress,performance stress,symptom checklist 90(SCL-90)scale,and workplace competition.The data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software and macro PROCESS.Results:The analysis of the mediating effect showed that performance stress mediated the relationship between family financial stress and psychological depression(b=0.064,SE=0.002,p<0.0001)and physical somatization(b=0.042,SE=0.002,p<0.0001),indicating spillover effects of stress from home to workplace.The moderating mediation analysis revealed that the crossover effects were amplified by workplace competition.For psychological depression,index of moderated mediation was:b=0.012,SE=0.001,p<0.001;For physical somatization,index of moderated mediation was:b=0.008,SE=0.001,p<0.001.Conclusion:Performance stress acts as a mediator in the link between family financial stress and mental health.Furthermore,the mediating effects was amplified by workplace competition.These findings suggest that workplace competition may serve to exacerbate the negative spillover effects from home to work through the mechanism of workrelated stress.Organizations should consider implementing supportive measures to mitigate family financial stress,such as providing financial counseling and fostering a collaborative work environment,to reduce the adverse effects of family financial stress on employees’mental health.
