In the era of digital economy,the impact of digital transformation on labor productivity of manufacturing enterprises is receiving increasing attention.Based on the data of Chinese A-share manu-facturing listed companies from 2010 to 2022,this study empirically tests the impact of digital transfor-mation on labor productivity of enterprises.The research results indicate that digital transformation has significantly improved the labor productivity of enterprises.After a series of robustness tests such as re-placing explanatory variables,replacing dependent variables,and changing sample intervals,the research conclusion still holds.From the perspective of impact mechanism,digital transformation can further promote the improvement of labor productivity by enhancing the technological innovation ability of en-terprises,reducing their costs and expenses.Research based on heterogeneity has found that the labor productivity promotion effect of digital transformation is more pronounced for enterprises,state-owned enterprises,and mature enterprises in the western region.
