Are family‐friendly workplace practices a valuable firm resource?
研究了德国、法国、英国和美国450多家制造企业，发现家庭友好型工作场所实践与企业生产率正相关，但控制管理质量后该关联消失；女性管理者比例高、员工技能高、管理良好的企业更倾向实施这些实践。
Abstract We study the determinants and consequences of family‐friendly workplace practices (FFWP) using a sample of over 450 manufacturing firms in Germany, France, U.K., and U.S. We find a positive correlation between firm productivity and FFWP. This association disappears, however, once we control for a measure of the quality of management practices. We further find that firms with a higher proportion of female managers and more skilled workers, as well as well‐managed firms, tend to implement more FFWP. Conversely, a firm's environment does not have a significant impact on the FFWP it provides. © 2010 The Authors. Strategic Management Journal published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
