人们经常认为，金融市场的全球化导致公司人力资源做法和员工福利的变化。为了考察企业治理对员工福祉的影响，我们考察了企业体面劳动政策的决定因素。体面工作是国际劳工组织提出的一项目标，包括“在自由条件下工作”、“工作平等”和“工作安全”等方面。我们使用2015年日本1258家上市企业的数据，开发了企业体面劳动政策的评分系统。使用这个独特的数据集，我们研究了外国所有权和外部董事比例对这些分数的影响。这些公司机制与公司政策之间存在着积极的关系。有人建议，可以通过改变公司治理来促进体面工作。
It is often argued that globalization of financial markets leads to change in firms’ human resource practices and employees’ well‐being. To examine the effect of corporate governance on employees’ well‐being, we examine the determinants of firm policies on decent work. Decent work was proposed as a goal by the International Labour Organization, and includes such dimensions as ‘work in conditions of freedom’, ‘equity in work’ and ‘security in work’. We develop a scoring system for firms’ policies on decent work using data on 1258 of Japan's listed firms in 2015. Using this unique dataset, we examine the effect of foreign ownership and outside director ratio on these scores. There is a positive relationship between these corporate mechanisms and firms’ policies. It is suggested that decent work may be promoted by a change in corporate governance.
