摘要
本文以A股非金融上市企业为样本,发现员工持股与公司应计盈余管理水平呈显著正相关。进一步研究发现,员工在企业中的重要性强、员工持股计划资金来源包含杠杆(借款)、企业资产透明度低、企业股权集中度低时,上述正相关关系更明显。另外,盈余管理水平在员工持股结束前一年显著更高。该正相关关系在利用工具变量和倾向得分匹配进行估计解决内生性问题后仍旧成立,并对控制机构投资者持股和高管股权激励等因素稳健。上述研究结果说明,管理层有"讨好"员工的动机,为了让员工股解禁时套现更多,管理层进行正向盈余管理以求推高股价,从而降低了财务信息质量。
        Employee stock ownership plans(ESOP) refer to programs that provide a company's common employees with an ownership interest in the company, thus turning employees(workforce)into shareholders. ESOP in China dates back to 1980 s, in the same pace with the shareholding reform. It underwent twists and turns along the 30 years of development. Previous literature focused on the effect of ESOP on corporate performance, emphasizing on how it changes the incentives of employees. In this paper we take a different perspective, paying attention to how ESOP affects managers' incentives and behaviors. More specifically, we analyze how ESOP affects earnings management in A-share-listed non-financial firms during 1998-2005 and 2014-2016. We construct the ownership share of common employees as indicated in the ownership changes history records to proxy for employee stock ownership, and calculated discretionary accruals with modified Jones model to proxy for earnings management. Simple regressions show that the probability of positive earnings management and the size of it are both positively correlated with employee stock ownership. Additional evidence shows that this positive correlation is stronger when(1) employees are more important with higher bargaining power,(2) ESOP leverages borrowed funds,(3) the corporate assets are less transparent, and(4) the ownership is less concentrated. Moreover, earnings management is severe right before the end of ESOP, while returning to normal levels when ESOP expires. The results still hold when using instrument variables and propensity score matched sample regressions to overcome endogeneity problem, and are robust to controlling other factors like institutional investors' ownership and high management stock incentives. The results show that, consistent with the "enjoying the quiet life" theory, managers have incentives to please employees. With employee ownership, managers conduct positive earnings management to boost stock price so that the employees can gain more from selling their stocks once the ESOP expires, which deteriorates accounting information quality.
