Abstract:

Based on stakeholder theory and social exchange theory,this paper analyzes the impact of resource-based enterprises’ fulfillment of social responsibility on enterprise performance from two aspects of cost payment and benefit inflow,and discusses human capital from the aspects of information communication efficiency and resource allocation efficiency.Using the panel data of China’s Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed resource-based companies from 2011 to 2020,this paper conducts an empirical analysis on the relationship between corporate social responsibility(CSR) and corporate performance,and constructs a regression model of curve adjustment effect to investigate the impact of human capital quality on corporate social responsibility.The study found that the impact curve of CSR on the performance of resource-based enterprises is an inverted U-shaped of first promoting and then suppressing,appropriate CSR performance of resource-based enterprises can significantly improve performance,while excessive CSR performance of resource-based enterprises will damage performance.The quality of human capital has a significant moderating effect on the inverted U-shaped relationship between corporate social responsibility and resource-based enterprise perfor-mance.The possession of high-quality human capital in resource-based enterprises will significantly reduce the negative impact of corporate social responsibility on performance,improve the positive impact to a limited extent,make the curve form smoother,and shift the inflection point to the right.This study has important enlightenment significance for guiding resource-based enterprises to fulfill their social responsibilities.

Key words: corporate social responsibility, corporate performance, human capital quality, resource-based enterprises, curve adjustment effect
